Ice skater's leap (4)
I believe the answer is:
axel
'ice skater's leap' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for axel that I've seen before include "part of skating performance" , "What skater may do" , "Jump executed on ice" , "A Torvill & Dean manoeuvre" , "Manoeuvre by skater" .)
