That body fat on the thighs has to be for something!!!! It will also protect your ribs. I stayed on the pavement laughing very hard (I was leading that ride...) instead of hurting, for once.
It's very important to go for style points. More points are awarded for keeping "the stuff that sticks out IN." 
If you can land with your hands over your hand and "stick the landing", artistic merit goes skyhigh.
