Downshifting to stop?

Ultilized all.....
When you pull the clutch (your intention is the shed speed) you must down shift anyway right. So at te same time apply rear brake and front.
Remember if only use engine braking, your tail stop light won't trigger so OP behind you would not know you are slowing down. So okay to engine brake & apply both F/R brake same time....
Now if your going straight...front brake will shed speed fastest, so apply that more for emergency brake.

I've found that if I get out of the mindset of using my rear brake that I start to never really use it...which is a big NO-NO right from MSF 101 class!
So, I try to practice balanced braking and also downshifting. I'm not very skilled with rev matching at this point though, but it's fine to practice just the same.

msf's 70/30 is for standards and cruisers. it's almost 90/10 on race reps, and it causes the rear ends to lock up more so than not really using it - so it's not really as big of a no no as you think

if you held constant throttle, you'd have to know the exact rpms, but when you blip, the clutch essentially matches it for you.
it's a timing and feel kind of thing. you should have been taught that in msf
