Isn't that called powershifting?

I used to do that in my car when a teenager. There is actually a point when your engine speed and gear selction is syncronized perfectly, and you can put the car in nuetral and back into gear with no resistance at all from the car.

I would think it is OK, so long as you are sycronized between your engine speed and the gear you are shifting into.

but if you are not syncronized, you will start to grind gears, and that can't be good.

so I think if you are perfect every time, it's safe, but the question is, can you be perfect everytime?
