This.

It never occurred to me that somebody would slam it down lol
It just BARELY goes out, then back in as soon as it catches.

If you're doing it well enough, a passenger shouldn't even know it's happening

Thanks guys. I'm used to doing it on an ATV, but that's during a race and you just dump the clutch in that application. I've been too scared to do it on the highway, for mechanical and safety reasons LOL. I usually coast to a stop sign or light anyways, but am thinking ahead for that day when I'm coasting and the light turns green.

You definitely should practice on a back road or somewhere without traffic until you get the hang of it.

Here's the tutorial I followed:

Thanks, I actually did it a couple of times today on the trip to/from work. Wasn't too bad to get used to. I was sure to make sure no one was around, more to spare me any possible embarrassment LOL. Thanks again guys.
