          If I am solely competing as a jumper, what benefits will I get from inline skating? I know it reduces joint pressure compared to running, but will it positively help me for jumping?

          A little bit of something is always better than nothing. Roller blading will increase your general fitness which could indirectly help your performances but it is unlikely that it will have a direct effect on your jumping ability. I certainly wouldn't use it to the exclusion of other more specific activities.
