Dump the clutch again while maintaining the throttle and you'll be off without any jerking..... If this is to agressive for you the alternative is to get the automatic. Problem solved!
You do know how much a clutch costs right? Why would you tell people to dump a clutch all the time when driving normally? Unless my understanding of clutch dumping is wrong, that will tear it up a lot faster. A might have been nice at the end of this to stop people who don't know from following your "advice"

I'll agree with everyone saying to ease out at 1500rpm into first and go slow into second. It just takes some getting used to, although I still get caught sometimes and jerk around a bit. Sometimes I just wind out 1st gear up to 5k to make shifting to 2nd easier. Plus it sounds awesome :P
