one thing you could try as you're approaching your shift point is to ease off the throttle just enough to hold your speed, and then shift into 2nd.
Arbitrary numbers, so this might not be applicable:
Say you normally shift at 3,500 rpms, and at that point, you'll be going 15mph. As you get close to 15mph, start backing off the throttle. Try playing around with that. It will seem less "rough" of a shift because you will already be accelerating at a slower rate, so that the time it takes you to shift (no acceleration) isn't as big of a momentum change.
