Speed shifting!

Does anyone speed shift on a regular basis?
Is this bad for the bike?

by speed shifting i'm assuming clutchless upshifting? only when trying to accelerate quickly in a straight line. using the clutch isn't really any slower though. not recommended for downshifting

Clutchless upshifting seems to do it justice.

Interesting, when I hear "speed-shift" I think WOT-shifting.
