About
Formerly a popular element on beam before it got downgraded into oblivion, the sheep jump has never really been popular on floor because it’s rated too low to be useful—and because the static nature of having to pause and then do a sheep jump and then make sure you’re still alive afterward doesn’t really fit into what should be a continuous passage of movement in a floor routine. We’re all fine with it that no one does the sheep jump on floor.
