About
Most importantly, the 2025 code update rewrote the skill description to call this one a “split leap to ring ring leap.” Excellent. It’s the second ring that’s critical. This is a ring ring leap.
The split ring leap (ring ring leap) is far less common than its equally valued sister the switch ring because it is…harder. Even though they have the same value. Most gymnasts utilize the momentum-gaining ability of the change-leg technique to whip themselves into the appropriate split ring position. But on the leap version, that change-leg momentum does not exist, so you have to do it all yourself.
