Oh and also you want to do all this very quickly. The point is to get your clutch, your flywheel, and your gears all moving at the same speed as your wheels. After you rev, in that tiny moment before you shift into the next gear, your clutch and flywheel will already be slowing down again.
None of this is really a big deal though, as far as wear and tear. So don't worry about not doing it, or making the car jerk around while you're learning. It's not going to hurt anything. But once you learn to do it, if you do it forever, that's tens of thousands of times over a long enough timeline. In the long run it'll actually save you a bit of wear and tear.
Mostly it's just fun though. And sounds cool. And makes shifting really smooth.
If you skip to the last part of this video (like 6:25 or so) you can watch my tachometer while I down shift from like 80mph or so.
