cluchless shifting and blipping the throttle
Not sure if you mispoke this or what, but when explaining the "proper" way to do a cluchless up shift, you said something to the effect of going from full throttle to "zero throttle" or "all the way closed" as the proper way to blip the throttle. This is incorrect; you only need to get off the throttle a little bit. How much varries depending on the gear spread- you'll need to blip more for 2->3 then 4->5.
This would also be VERY difficult to do unless you're using a racing 1/4 or 1/5th turn throttle as most people can't go from full off to full on (or vice-versa) without adjusting their hand on the throttle itself.
