What's the best way to shift smoothly?
 

say if you were just cruising? After you depress the clutch, do you keep the motor revved to proper speed, then put it in gear and let the clutch out? What's your technique?

I blip the throttle to rev match then slowly let the clutch out to let it grab and bring the motor to it's proper speed.....

Yeah same thing.. here's an example..

I'm at about 15mph, in 1st, I shift to second, while depressing the clutch, gently press the throttle to about 1,500rpm and release clutch, it kills the chops between shifts.. takes some getting used to, but it helps, but if you press the gas too much and release clutch, you get a little bounce
