I only do it when really gunning it. Never tried to do it on a downshift though. I always blip on downshifts anyway.

I don't consider myself to be an expert but I was able to get the technique down without too much difficulty. If someone cannot do a fairly simple thing like a clutchless gear change after some practice I'd be worried about their overall riding skills on the roads with me.

Yup. To downshift and come to a complete stop w/o stalling after upshifting without it lol

but, I'd probably only clutchless upshift once in a great while for the fun of it. I doubt once in a while doing it right would do any harm, right?

It sounds like you’re doing it wrong. Don’t try to shift after letting off the gas.

While still on the gas, put pressure on the shifter to upshift, then let off the throttle and get back on it quickly.

Hi. Upshifting without the clutch is ok. Just shut the throttle off and apply gentle pressure on the gear lever and it goes in.
