The same way that you ride an automatic. You still have to work through the gears, but simply using the clutch. NOW, you can get away without using the clutch when riding, but you have to have a good deal of riding experience, and be able to HEAR the peak rpms of the engine. Careful to not putz up your gears though. It is tough to learn, but once you get it you will never use the clutch except to start and stop. (That is how I do it!!)

Firstly, if you have never ridden a clutch bike before then a dirt bike may not be the best to start with. Dirt bike clutches tend to be springy so you may end up doing a wheelie.
Basically what the other answers have said is correct, pull in the clutch, shift the gear (left foot) then release the clutch. Pretty much like driving a manual shift car except hands manage the clutch and foot does the gear thingy.
What kinda dirt bike do you have.?

Well,
Its easy... When you first take off you let the clutch out slowly but give it some gas... Now not too much... The when ur ridin u pull in the clutch shift up........... you probley only have 5 gears so only do it five times.. When Shifting down you hold the clutch in and go down, Until Its doesnt go anymore...... Than when putting in Nuetral between 1 nd 2. right in the Middle.......

Easy, Sit on bike
Hold clutch in
Start bike
Holding clutch in put bike in 1st gear
slowly give gas
when ready for 2nd gear let go of gas hold clutch in and shift repeat with other gears. Same to downshift or to stop, Hold clutch in when using brake to stop

i have been told that actually riding a dirt bike with a clutch or without one makes no difference because the way you ride is on your butt on the seat in a seated position oh yeah and your hands on the handle grips also helps alot too!

Take a course. That's the best way to learn plus they will teach you a lot of helpful techniques for riding dirt. They also offer street courses.

You use it just like a clutch in an automobile. in between shifting gears, you squeeze the lever on the left handle bar...then easily let it out. this is done in shifting-up and shifting down as you come to a stop.
