Bunny Hopping

There are several curbs, potholes and sections of crappy asphalt on my route; generally I try to ride around them, but that's not always possible; half the time I end up slowing down and slowly rolling over them.

My cross bike has Alex da-28 rims with 32 spokes and 700x32 tires, and I weigh ~120lbs. Would bunny hopping potentially damage the wheels or bike at all? Heck, would the wear/tear associated with learning to bunny hop damage them? I've seen threads where people put their wheels out of true, broke a hub, etc, but they likely weigh much more than 120.
