^^ You just need to learn to cover your brakes better.

Really, the more aggressively you ride, the more important proper covering becomes. The key is in reacting properly to the given situation, which usually means NOT grabbing for the brakes when the going gets sketchy. This is something that I find easier to regulate if I'm covering my levers; if you have to reach in a hurry, chances are you're going to grab for too much. Once you've trained those reactions, it becomes second nature and you won't wory about accidental braking no matter what you're doing - - in the air or planted on the ground:
