About
The straddle jump 1/2 pops up every once in a while in floor routines when gymnasts have just performed a challenging twisting leap and want to distract you from the fact that they were under-rotated by going immediately into another dance element. I don’t really see much purpose for the straddle 1/2 at all other than that.

Value
B

Because gymnastics is a comedy, not a drama
