Welcome to 4loor slifting . LEAD THE SHIFTER GENTLY IN GEARS WITH YOUR FINGER TIPS, WHERE IT'S SUPOSED TO GO FOLLOWING THE "H" BUT THE FASTEST TIME YOU CAN. #1-When you pull from 1st to 2nd, using the "Slaping tiger paw fingers", not the "pulling the rope fist". Stiff arms are slower than a slaping fingers, ask Bruce Lee. Well, you can't ask him but you know what I mean. The pulling rope fist will not only be slower in Tousands of sec., it will break the top shifter plate and the linkage. 2-When you cross the 2nd and 3rd, it's a no brainer-fork bender when you push straight in V shape instead of H pathway. "200" prior to Pre-determine shifting RPM. Lets say 5300 from 5500 shifting, start pulling out the shifter from the gear so it's already ready to insert into the next gear at 5500 as planed. It wont pull out from the gear since the release bearing is still engaged at 5300 and in full rotation. But the shifter will already be in course for it. Were talking Tousands of miliseconds but it what it takes to win or loose sometime. Practice this technic as much as you can and doing it the Having fun way using the "foot on rock slipping". You will be able to run against the best. Shift-her faster! Not stronger. Your already very good as shown on the videos. Maybe the stress took over. You know when you feel you right foot shaking on the gas pedal. Lol Best content of the month for me, because you were having fun. 😊
