Don't get into that habit, it'll make everything so much harder later on. Proper bunnyhops or nothing!

When I skate I'm in goofy mongo so I have really messed up footing. I need my right foot at the front to get that wheel up and then at the back for the back up. Can't do both at once so reall Bhops r quite hard :( I tried doing Jhops by pushing the bars forward mid air but that's muchos effort. Should I just spend ages learning to bhop with some unnatural footing that feels wierd?

That sounds confusing. Without proper bunnyhops everything is harder (I imagine even more so with fgfs), so my advise would be to work on them until they feel more normal. Try not to think too much about your feet though, and the comparison to your skateboarding stance is probably over complicating everything as well. Just stick with whatever foot tends to end up as the front foot.

I skate mongo too, mainly because 30 years ago nobody was there to tell me otherwise.
So far as bunnyhops go, it sounds like you're right-footed (you're putting it to the front as to lift) keep doing this and just practice and practice trying to hop over a stick lying on the ground. There's a billion youtube vids of how to bunnyhop, don't analyse them too much, just practice.
good luck

I've been digging all winter and today was the day I finally got to ride the trails. It's been about 5-6 years since I last hit a dirt jump so it felt amazing to get through a whole line on the first ride.

The local skaters started this PLK thing and as our scene is tight with them we have become part of it. After 10 skateboard videos I decided it was time we showed them how we do it.
The highlight to me is Kosma's clips, this whole thing encompasses around 3 months in that time he went from blasting our dirt jumps to breaking his neck (3 vertebrae and numerous other injuries) and then back to scudding around on his big bike with neck brace on, not something I'd recommend but it gives you an idea how rooted this bmx thing is with some of us.
