The hard release kicks the engine alive, then before it revs right up you got to release the clutch enough to make the further revving up go smooth.

It is a skill I was proud of having mastered, but now I get no chances anymore to keep honing it. One of the drawbacks of trading in a manual for an automatic
Wait, doesn't "buttering" the clutch to re-engage wear the clutch out faster?

I always rev match after bump start.

Just BARELY release clutch, engine fires on
Clutch in so that the car does not jerk
Shift to top gear
Blip the throttle to rev match
Release clutch...if I did it right, the car does not jerk....thus no wear on the clutch
