The bounce in that video is in the middle of the supposed gap jump. As soon as it lands on the bottom of the device and bounces, that would mark the landing point and the ending measurement point for that particular gap bonus. This is entirely different from a vehicle that makes a legal gap jump and then bounces when it lands. In my opinion, jump, bounce, land is not allowed; but jump, land, bounce should be allowed.
