In that video, I actually overrevved a little bit. I do owe you a video tutorial, I think you asked before.

Some z4m's have issues with grinding going from 1st to second. I don't, so I go hard on it.

The simplest explanation is perfectly coordinated timing with my foot hitting the clutch and my hand pulling the lever straight back. Believe it or not, its done in a single motion. I kick the clutch and shift at the same time. Going over a rough analysis of the audio from the videos, my 2-3 shift is between 100 and 200 milliseconds (from full throttle in 1 gear to back on the throttle in the next)

so yeah, clutch kick and shift happends in one syncronized motion
