If you are asking about skip shifting, yeah I do it all the time. Usually 1st to 2nd to 4th to 6th though. Or sometimes I just start in 2nd. No harm to the tranny at all.

Edit - if you are looking to get the best 0-60 time or any performance whatsoever, go 1-2-3-4-etc. The only reason to skip shift is to get better mpg.
