About
The straddle jump is pretty much just a random nonsense skill when it comes to floor, though that doesn’t mean you won’t see it. You will, particularly as an element thrown onto the end of a difficult, twisting dance element to quickly distract you from the under-rotation.

It’s also possible to use the straddle jump out of an E tumbling pass for CV, but most will elect to use other dance elements like a split jump or a stag jump, more plausible options than the straddle jump for that purpose.
