I think I'd hurt myself if I tried that.
I remember the commedian asking, "Does Superman HAVE to fly in that position? Why can't he just sit like he's reading a paper as he flies through the air?"

since turning a road bike has more to do with weight distrobution that direction of the bars, is is possible to turn on decents in this position.

Um, can you do this if you have man parts? Wouldn't you be rolling over EVERYTHING to get into that position... I would rather not try.

I'm not really into that. The only tricky things I do are ride no handed and take off my jacket on the fly.
edit: And that's not very tricky.

It's easy. Move your junk out of the way, put the seat into your hip, and go. I do this a lot, but no one is ever around with a camera.

This was meant as a joke. There is no way I could do that starting from sitting on the saddle. Rather:
1-Find a inclined surface (my driveway).
2-Stand behind the saddle, straddling the rear wheel, holding the handlebar.
3-Bend over the bike, with your upper abdomen on the saddle.
4-Roll forward and gain some momentum.
5-Lift up your legs.
6-Have somebody take a picture.
Do it at your own risk.
