The Quick Jump feat allows you to make a high or long jump without striding first and reduces the action economy to one. Can a quickened long jump be used as a stride? Stride states you move up to your (land) speed but it doesn't say how. Long jump allows you to jump up to your land speed provided you hit the DC.
So for example, Sudden Charge allows you to stride twice (using any speed you have) then attack. Could a character with the Quick Jump feat jump twice then attack?
I understand that this makes it more difficult to move given there would now be a skill check but I've a zany character concept of a Dwarf in heavy armor bouncing around the battlefield that I find comical and hope to play.

You cannot use the Long Jump action when an ability says "stride", no.

Ok, why? Is this a matter of semantics because they have different labels? Because the feats that allow you to stride in combination with another action state you can fly, swim, burrow, or climb instead of stride. Why would I be able to do all of those things if I had those movements but not jump?
fly, swim, burrow, and climb are types of movement speed. If you have those speeds, you may use their equivalent to the Stride action. There is no Leap speed, ergo you cannot Leap during a Sudden Charge - by RAW. I wouldn't consider it an unreasonable ruling to say you could, though.
