I actually tried that on my bike a couple times and it works decently, enough to be able to get over a decently sized hole. I never even thought about it until seeing that video again for application to a pothole. I saw that video a while back and decided after getting my newer bike, once I got used to it, that I would try it and see what I could do. I was able to get a decent hop of a couple inches without much issue and it wasn't horrible like his but then again he's getting well over 6 inches of height doing his hops.
The only big difference for me is that I'm doing it on a liter bike. might be interesting on a 600. probably would have to torque it up a lot more.
