Basil's right, the track is by far the best place to practice riding technique due to the safety and repeatability aspects of it, but unfortunately there isn't a cheap way to do it, just some ways are less expensive than others. If all you have access to is the roads, then practice road riding and roadcraft, it'll do a better job of keeping you alive than pretending to be a racer round the local roundabout:
You're better off keeping track-type antics to the track, where you can learn them in safety. I have got my knee down on the road before, but not for the last fifteen years - I just keep it to the track now, it doesn't matter now, and in all honesty it never did on the road, and in the eyes of certain officers of the law it merits a ticket as well >
