why isnt the jump stop a travel?

I see it now. Added it in 2004, but it still makes no sense to me.

How can you have no pivot foot?

Even if you suppose the rule as it is written: when you land on both feet simultaneously, then either can be the pivot foot.

OK. So as you go to jump again, the left one comes up first (so this is NOW the right is your pivot foot) As soon as you lift the right one...you have just traveled.

It is rule changes like this that errode the fundamentals imo.
