Shift technique is more than just oofing it up and stomping it down. When I first started riding, lo these many moons ago, I'd miss a lot of shifts, up and down, until a more experienced rider told me about matching RPM. To most riders, this is nothing new, but to some, it's a grain of knowledge to be stored and used. When I adjusted my technique, missed shifts went away, (except when I'm lazy) and finding neutral became easy. Got to get your right wrist, your left hand, and your left foot to work together to shift smoothly.
