is there anyway at all besides crossing into something to get the great leap ability? is it a feat in a book somewhere?

i kinda want it for my dragoon character before i get to later levels...

Leap of the Heavens (PHB2) does basically the same thing, assuming you're talking about the Ninja ability.

Is there anything like the 3.0 Leap of the Clouds that removes the limit on jumps?

AFAIK there's no limit on jumps in 3.5

The first level of Blade Dancer (from OA) gives you +10 competence bonuses on Balance, Jump and Tumble, lets you always take ten with those, and removes jump distance limitations. Oh, and your base land speed doubles via an untyped bonus.

yes, but i likely wont prestige into that till later levels, and wanted to grab leap of the clouds sooner to maximise jump attack

I've never found a reference to a limit on distance you can jump, just that you normally need to take 20' run for a running jump.

Is there a limit on the distance?

No there isn't. If you see references to such, they were in 3.0.
They fixed jumping by making supernal speeds give boni.

It's good to remember, DnD leaves real-world physical limitations behind @level 6.

You are still limited by your movement speed though-- at least insofar as how far you can jump in a single round. You'll basically be in midair if you happen to exceed your movement speed.
