what makes the split falling leaf harder than the russian one?
I would have thought because it comes from an edge take off rather than a toe (flip take off really on a Russian split but usually approached from a mohawk entrance rather than a 3-turn). Although you can do Russian splits into a landing on a rbo or lbo edge making them split flips which are obviously more difficult to do. Paul Wylie used to do 2 Russian splits into a split flip. Split lutzes and even split toe loops have also been done.
