Is skipping gears ok?

1997 Honda Civic:

I usually go 1 -> 3 -> 5 and if im going down hill I can start off at 2 -> 4 -> 5 or sometimes even 2 -> 5
Is this OK to do or is there some reason why you cant?


From what I see on yahoo answers its a no-go, they said it puts too much strain on the gears that im using since they have to make up for what the lower gears didn't do.... hmmm....what if I'm hauling down hill?
