Vijen6,
My only thoughts about getting into 1st easier is to brings the RPM up a little before trying to put it back in gear. 1st is the hardest gear to rev.-match, because the RPM changes so quickly with road speed.
Sasha,
You can heel & toe with a single clutch motion, instead of a double-clutch. The RPM blip while the clutch is in just has to be slightly higher. I use both techniques, but the double-clutch is generally smoother, especially when changing down to 2nd or 1st gear, for the reasons mentioned above.
Hunker,
How do you downshift w/o H&T ? I assume you just release the clutch slowly and let the tires/drivetrain "pull" the engine up to the required RPM?
