Backstrokers unite.
We know every detail of the ceilings where we train unless it's the sky which is ever changing.
We SDK every day. It's breath taking.
We go forwards in reverse.
We get to flip over on turns. We gotta stay on our back.
We swim back. We kick back.

All this being said, most backstrokers are usually very good in the kick department.
I agree that most backstrokers are good in the kick dept.
In someways, it seems that good 200 backstrokers almost pull the first 100 when they are on top of the water(ie after the underwater part of each wall) They do use a steady kick but don't put too much emphasis on the legs. Then they use a strong kick on all aspects on the 2nd 100.
