Had one dicey moment about a block from the house. Coming off a steep hill, making a left turn, I down shifted all the way to first. I let the clutch out when I was turning and still moving at a decent clip. The engine braking skidded the back(?) tire, but I instinctively pulled the clutch back in before I dumped myself. I'll have to watch out for that. Probably should have only downshifted to third. Finished up at about 490 miles.
You shouldn't shift in a turn period. Should always set yourself up before the turn into the proper gear. Never into first unless you are 5mph or below or coming to a complete stop.
