Everybody should do heel and toeing. Dropping down gears without doing it is so unpolished.

For some reason I suddenly thought of Steps. 5-6-7-8.
Never mind.

i can do it but the 206 isnt the easyst car to do it in.
also left foot braking is fine but get on the throttle early and the car beeps at you.

so from this video, is the brake pedal on the left? and not in the middle?
i dont see his left foot touch the middle at all this is why i'm querying why its called left foot breaking
because the way hes moving his feet is the way i drive

it's much easier to do in cars with more responsive throttles. my 206 and 207's thropple just seems very slow to respond. you have to propper kick it to get it to rev and on our VW's and sprinter, so much as tickle the throttle and it responds straight away.
rev matching is quite easy when not braking or once you've braked but it's a wee bit harder on a bike. brake and throttle in one hand is abit tedious so a slipper clutch is used, get the back end sliding out too. 
Just like this!
