I don't double clutch on upshifts. I just take my time.

Double clutching is common on downshifts, almost mandatory. I started out that way but now I just single clutch them. Just raise the engine speed enough and kept it up. It sounds better and is smooth. I also down shift in the turn, its also smoother.

The only downshift I still have to double clutch is from 2 to 1.
