Gas off
Pull in clutch and lift my toe to switch it to 2nd gear
Gas off
Stomp gear shifter switching down to 1 first gears?
Is this correct or not?
Please correct me if I’m wrong.

thats sort of it yes but whilst you have the clutch in to shift down a gear rev the bike up a bit so the engine speed is closer to what it wll be when the clutch goes out Or are you talking a "auto clutch"

Have you actually ever ridden a bike or are you asking how to ride it?

Use the clutch when changing up or down. You'll find it smoother. Save the fancy stuff for later.
