Hard down shifting is stupid and unsettles the suspension as well as wears 
stuff out. It also will not tighten your line.  Breaking the rear tire loose 
with power *will* point the bike towards the inside of the curve and is an 
effective race technique. It also wears out tires, but tires are cheap 
compared to motors.
