About
In and of itself, the split leap ends up being fairly pointless to perform on floor because it is only an A skill (like all the round-offs and back handsprings already in the routine) and has no use in combinations.
It can, however, be performed as the first element in a passage of dance to fulfill that requirement in the event that a gymnast just needs some filler to throw in there because all the intended counting dance elements don’t really work as part of a continuing passage.
