    How to shift while moving on dirt bike?

    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.
