Each time you shift, and not being properly rev-matched, your syncros are taking the brunt of getting everything matched up so you cogs aren't grinding.
You can get away without double clutching in normal conditions. But if you're doing let's say a 3rd gear to 1st downshift, you probably want to double clutch rev match.

Well I've gotten pretty good at rev matching...I usually match spot on, sometimes though within like 100-200 rpms (I do look at rpms when I release the clutch).
As for the 1st downshift...don't know about yours but my brz won't even let me put it in 1st anywhere above 6 mph. 7 mph and I am simply locked out of first and forced to go in 2nd.
