I'd avoid it. Puts a lot of stress on everything for no reason.

Unless your clutch cable snaps and you need to make it home,  why?

Thanks I didnt know. Glad I asked.
The reason you would do it is because you go faster quicker

I had to do that once. Gearing up is no problem with a tiny bit of practice, I do it occasionally even without a snapped cable. But gearing down I'd avoid if at all possible.

Happened to me, too. Glad that I knew how to do it when I really needed!
