Question Potholes? Bad spots in the road?

So how many of you with the Shotgun Shock (or Air Suspension) TRY to run over holes or bad spots in the road to see if you can feel it?

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA

LOVING THIS SHOTGUN SHOCK!

I look for the ruts in the road and I throw my bike in them. When I can 1 hand my bike and not feel the ruts I know I have hit "My sweet spot" and I am adjusted and good to go.

Seriously?
I figure there's enough of that as it is without intentionally aiming for them.
..and FWIW, I don't drive my car through fire hydrants and mailboxes either, but that's just me...

No, not serious. I would NEVER do such a thing.
