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.

You went on another thread and claimed you have been playing, coaching and officiating for 30 years and you do not know why this rule is the way it is?

It is legal and it was legal when I was playing over 20 years ago. We were taught to do the move when I played in HS.
