Straddle jump 1/2

About
The straddle jump 1/2 pops up occasionally in NCAA gymnastics when gymnasts have just performed a more challenging leap and can use the straddle 1/2 to get connection bonus, though the Popa is far more common for NCAA leap combinations.

Really, the main purpose of the straddle jump 1/2 is to distract you from the fact that they were under-rotated on the landing of the dance element just before that.
