What’s the practice?
Focus your gaze up ahead, look as straight as you can. There’s no point in looking at your skidding tire. You can check your mirrors, but the action of skidding itself is warning enough for the other people following you. Unless they are blind, then you’re dead.
The chain got jammed between the swing arm and the sprocket, or Anywhere for that matter.

This could be tiring, but it’s doable. And you need to have a strong leg.
Did that catch you by surprise?
Two scenarios could happen here.

The guy on the left is the one with a working motorcycle, he’s the one pushing the other guy.
Now, do the skids as many times as you can. Make skid marks, and do a full cornering drift. Anything, really, and just have fun with it.
Turn on your flashers, and signal to pull over to the right. Use your right hand if you need to.

And at that point, depending of your speed, you also need some kind of luck.
Don’t try to squeeze the clutch either, nothing you can do about it. So don’t even try to change gears, but I do understand that sometimes it’s a force of habit.
Learn it with a mountain bike, or even a BMX. Or a smaller displacement bike.
You can only do this up to 20km/h. Anything faster than that, you’re just calling for another more fatal accident. But hey, I’m not saying it’s impossible.
Use both of your brakes to slow down, and finally pull over.
You’re speeding at 100km/h on a worn-out chain? It’s kinda your fault really.

If you have an extra chain, I assume you know how to fit a new one into your bike. Do it. If not, call a tow truck. Calling a friend is exciting too. I’ll tell you why in a moment.
Relax.

How far does good behavior take you in a prison?
On an empty road, much easier if it’s some kind of rough road. Some dust, rubble, or even sand could make the practice easier. Actually, sand would make it hard if you don’t have enough power.
Remember that tip on calling a friend?
In that case, just pray and repent your sins.
