Lot of times on purpose I go from 1st to 3rd and 5th anyway when I get lazy.
Also, if you just pause for a split second in neutral when the lockout comes up, then it will go into 2nd gear without a hitch.

With this much torque, to drive "normally", you have to skip gears IME. You can theoretically go from 1st to 6th, since 1st will get you up to 55mph. That's the extreme example, but going up to whatever mph normally, without accelerating like a mad-man, you will skip gears...or you'll spend forever rowing through gears for no reason, because the torque means you'll get up to speed a little faster, due to not having to row through all those gears.
