Double clutching quickly is not easy since you have to cluctch, shft to neutral, release, rev match, clutch, downshift.
Can you just match revs with the clutch depressed and skip neutral or does that somehow cause clutch wear?

Proper rev matching causes little or no wear on the clutch. (Unless you're talking a high speed downshift into 1st, then that involves other techniques (including double clutching). See my response to "Former" (above).

I'm sorry, but I'm new to all this madness. Can someone please tell me what it means to rev match while double clutching (I think I've figured out what double clutching is) and what the synchros is?! Thanks!

There's absolutely no need to double clutch upshifting. In non-syncro cars you double clutch on the down shift.
For smooth down shift's in our car. Clutch in, downshift, heel toe (blip the gas), clutch out. You want to rev match otherwise you get serious engine breaking which can severely unsettle the car when entering turns.
I heel toe all the time (although it's not really necessary unless you want to force the downshift). Mainly just pratice, so that I don't have problems at the track. It can get hairy heel toeing on the track entering a turn behind someone. It's easy to mess up and f... up braking.

double clutching is not necessary on our car, unless you want a smooth ride. This is all for fun.
