Well, truth be told it's actually quite a terrible video, reminiscient of a low budget middle school educational video lol. But the sheer amount of awesome information, tips and advice found in it make it totally worthwhile to watch.

normally i pull clutch in and rev match the gear, you can also stop faster if you do that, plus ready to accelerate if you're in danger.
