Which leg do most people jump off of? I think I would feel comfortable doing them by jumping off of my left leg but thats my weaker leg. I tried practising the j step setup and it felt really weird doing the jump and step off of the right leg even though its my stronger one.

Jump off of the left. Thats how it goes. I jump off of my right and im left handed.

i jump off my weaker leg(left), but swing thru with my stronger leg(right). i used to be a lefty until school ended. then i became ambidextrious.

I jump off my left and kick with my left.
I think this is default for most righties, and vice versa for lefties. Just try both and see what you're comfortable with. Maybe even try both equally throughout your tricking sessions so you can be ambitrixtrous :D

If you do a tornado kick with your right leg and a bkick landing on your right leg. do gainers swinging with the right and jumping with the left.

yes, and also do all spin tricks to the left otherwise it will screw your combos over

Really? Because in wushu, lotus kicks are done in a clockwise spinning motion and it doesn't screw me up at all.
