    Ok, I tried. But I couldn't get my head off the ground. What am I doing wrong?


    straighten your arms (hardest part for a guy)

    yeah, that's not going to happen, at least tonight. I'll stick to walking upright for now.

    You either dont have the upper body strength... or you are pushing with your legs before your arms. Leg muscles are stronger!

    Yep now I feel the need to go try one, too bad I don't have someone to take my pic

    I am willing to sacrifice my time to assist. And don't worry, the ones with wardrobe malfunctions shall never see the light of day.

    Too true. I used a timer and you have no idea how many times I did this only to find my boob had popped out.

    pics or it didn't happen (and we know you have pics)

    I'm tempted to go try, but terrified I'll end up stuck or injured.

    Hahaha! This is me. :)

    I'd take a picture but I'm already naked and too lazy to get dressed. I love the bendiness on display, though.

    I did one, but i dropped the camera before i hit click and now i'm in traction.

    :frown:

    Just kidding, cutie pies!! I can do one, honest!! But I can only hold it for about five seconds. I'm working on it during yoga.

    This thread rocks so hard. Y'all are awesome. I need to contribute my backbending to the thread somehow... *thinks*

    I'm amused by the different shapes here and how you can really seem to tell how long someone's legs and arms are compared to their torso. I also like the really tall looking girl is rather folded instead of bent.

    ^This. I'll be clothed later and will try and take a pic then.

    I think asking my mum to take a pic would be weird...

    :love: In light of your photograph, I must disagree with your assertion that the brobends are hottest. :love:
