I use Move x 16" for long jump (halve with neither a running start or skill roll, double with both) and Move x 4" for a high jump. I've yet to find a situation where it's inferior to the weird-as-hell RAW. You can still use half Jumping skill.

It gives the world record jumper Move 11 (or Jumping-22), and Usain Bolt a 32 feet maximum distance, which is pretty tolerable if jumping is going to be based off Move.

It also gives they Move guy 1 1.5 feet, which is certainly better than jumping backwards.
