Backstroke--Where's the fun?

Lately I've been getting into breaststroke and fly, but I can't seem to find any enjoyment in backstroke. With the other strokes I have a real feeling for my body moving in the water, but with backstroke I might as well be running on land. For those of you who enjoy backstroke, what do you like about it? What am I missing? Where's the fun in backstroke?

    Try this long-axis combination drill: First one lap (50 yards) of five backstroke alternated with two front crawl, no-breather freestyle. For each lap you reduce the number of BK with one and add one stroke of FR. Try it! thus: 5BK-2FR, 4BK-3FR, 3BK-4FR, 2BK-5FR
