About
The wolf jump and the wolf hop are two separate elements but both kind of superfluous on floor. Theoretically, the wolf jump could be used to connect out of tumbling elements for bonus, but everyone would rather use a stag. The wolf hop (above) could be used as the first element in a passage of dance, but everyone would rather use something count-worthy like a switch ring.

Mostly, the wolf jump just sits in a corner bemoaning the fact that the wolf turn has given it such a bad name.
