If you encounter a chuckhole or pothole you cannot avoid, the safest technique is to:

1. Brake hard while the wheel is in the hole
2. Rise slightly off the seat, hold the bars firmly, ease off the brakes, roll on a small amount of throttle just before contact, and let the suspension absorb the impact
3. Lean the bike sharply away from the hole
4. Close your eyes until the bike clears the hole
