Using screenshots to Compare the Jump Back of Sharath, John Scott David Swenson and Lino Miele

In an earlier post
http://grimmly2007.blogspot.co.uk/2008/08/comparing-screenshot-of-my-jump-back.html

I present the Jump backs of John Scott, Sharath, David Swenson and Lino Miele via a screenshot breakdown of their respective Jump Backs. The intention here is not to suggest one is better than another but to see in detail the different approach they each take and to inspire and educate.

I am of the understanding that the nature of the screenshot as used for educational purposes comes under Fair use and does not infringe copyright, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot#Copyright_issues and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use#Fair_use_on_the_Internet and have included credit below.

I would of course remove the content should it be shown that I'm mistaken and am indeed infringing copyright .

How to make your own screenshot slideshow: Download the free VLC media player from CNET. Take a video of your Jump back using your camera or mobile phone camera and upload to your computer. Open the movie with VLC. Hit play then pause and then on the video dropdown box click Snapshot. Repeat throughout the video. Upload photos to google picassa.com. Click embed slideshow and copy the embed code to your html gadget feature on your blog. I'm sure there are a lot of other ways of doing it but this worked for me.

I don'y know where I should leave this comment, as it concerns DVD's :) Recently I've founf this: http://www.kpjashtanga.com/. I've ordered the DVD's (donation basis) - and I think it's quite interesting thing to most of ashtanga practitioners to see senior teachers (Richard Freeman, Maty Ezraty, Chuck Miller, Tim Miller) talked through first and second series. I mean - it's not like studio DVD - they sweat a lot, they do vinyasas and enter positions in a different way. Great stuff.

Hi Indra, here is fine. I have the 3rd series one, great to see those guys struggling through it, sweating away. I remember seeing the link to these on youtube and wanted to order them but forgot, so thanks for this. Does he give an idea of the kind of donation he's looking for?

Basically it should be enough to cover the shipment cost to Europe. If, however, one who's purchasing DVDs is willing to offer something extra it's perfectly cool :)
