    No camera here but mine looked poor and held shortly. Will work on it - some concern for my impinging shoulders but will bend for pizza.

    Woo-hoo! I can do that!!! Crud, I'm at work... would be weird to ask someone to take my pic right now (I know, I know- pics or it didn't happen...).
    I can also bring my legs up over my back and plant my feet flat on the floor over my shoulders. Yeah, I'm braggin', get over it :laugh:

    Use to be able to backbend and walk my hands and feet in till they almost touched. I took gymnastics when I was a kid and was able to hold that position for the longest.

    Now I can do the basic backbend but I can't hold it as long as I used to. I'm lucky if I can hold that position for longer than 5-10 seconds before I crash to the ground! haha
