Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as a "suicide shift". Suicide clutch refers to a particular style of motorcycle clutch operated by the rider's left foot, instead of the more common left hand. This prevents the rider from placing both feet on the ground at a stop unless in neutral, thus allowing the motorcycle to fall to the left should the rider become unbalanced. Though gaining popularity in the seventies, the concept began with older-style Harley-Davidson and Indian motorcycle foot-actuated clutches which could be locked in a safe, disengaged position. Simplification of the system to prevent this locking mechanism became part of the motorcycle chopping phenomenon of the late sixties onwards. Gear shifting was accomplished with the left hand via some sort of shifting lever, usually adorned with lavish shift knobs. Sometimes called a jockey, tank or hand shift, depending on where the shift knob is located relative to the rider.

Dumping the clutch is a technique for quickly releasing the clutch, usually allowing the clutch release spring to shoot the pedal back up. The driver will remove his foot from the pedal quickly, usually side stepping to the left. This is often done in conjunction with a launch control mechanism, or with the driver revving up the motor naturally, in order to get the car moving quickly.
Often used by street racers and on drag strips to get the fastest launch possible, when driving a car equipped with a manual transmission. Dumping the clutch at too high of an RPM will generally result in wheel hop and wheel spin. Dumping it at too low of an RPM will result in a loss of time, or even stall the car.

Dude, that dumb ricer did a clutch dump at 4000 RPM. He was all over the road and couldn't get any traction.
