A Leap is different from a Crow Hop. In both cases, both feet are airborne. If the pivot foot lands first, and pushes off from that point, that is a crow hop. Illegal.
If the stride foot lands first and the pitch is delivered off that stride foot landing, that is a leap. (The pivot foot may land simultaneous with the stride foot, but it does not plant and push, just drags along.) Illegal today. However, it was only a few years ago that the Leap was legal for ASA Men's FP, but was never legal for Women's ASA (or NFHS) FP. (My '92 ASA book still has the leap as legal.)
