So so true. I recently learned how to match my RPM and shift(I forget what it's called) and for years I was too scared to try to figure it out cause I was only taught the clutch method.
My Dad rowed too but my gears don't slow down enough for my liking to warrant 4-1 shifts. Unless I'm either wanting to hear my engine sound cool or I have 3 miles before I come to a stop...
