I have a general strategy of never letting go of the handlebars until I actually have hit the ground. This prevents me from landing on outstretched arms and also has actually allowed me to get my bike back under control without crashing. Anything beyond that is beyond my ability to practice. I'm not undergoing stuntman training, and I fail to see what martial arts can teach you about trying to keep control of your bike and landing unexpectedly in a position you can't anticipate with a bicycle between your legs.

You do know that the basic technique of stunts is to plan the stunt in advance so you can control your landing, right?
