I pretty much had to somewhat slam the brakes, forgot to hold in the clutch, and *jerk, no more engine*. Of course he glared at me as he flew past.

My shifts aren't very smooth yet though and I haven't really gotten a chance to use more than third gear since I've just been practicing in residential neighborhoods.

Tried downshifting from third to second with a blip but without realizing I waited to lift my foot off the clutch till the RPMs from the blip didn't matter anymore.

Hopefully it'll all smooth out eventually. I'll need to be able to take it on 280 in the next week or two to San Jose. My parents keep saying I'm not ready, haha.

Rev matching is going to take a while, especially if you're heel-toeing. I wouldn't worry about that as much as getting smooth upshifting first.
