Default How do you "dump the clutch"?

Ok, I know most of you are gonna think this is a stupid question, but how exactly do you dump the clutch? Do you just hold the revs at a certain RPM with the clutch fully pressed down, and just lift your foot off it real fast? Or do you hold down the clutch with just a corner of your foot and kinda let the clutch slip off your foot and "pop" up real fast? I dunno which one's right, but both ways seems like it'd be really hard on the clutch/drivetrain.

let off right away (thats dumping the clutch) the other way you described is riding the clutch, where you kind of gently release the clutch but not all of a sudden. the first way is very bad for your drivetrain. the second one is really bad for your clutch, although if you have a aftermarket one, it will last a little bit longer... all in all they are all bad for your drivetrain but once in a while is cool
