blippingthe throttle  would be something  I would NOT recommend on a  four stroke  or  any bike to tell you the truth.  steady acceleration up and over the the jump  would be  what I would say to do  unfortunately  only experience is going to tell you how much  works  for what.  Start  small  and practice and work your way up   trying  to feel  what the bike is doing as you are doing it.

I am  by no means a decent jumper but  from having a  wr400  and trying to blip the throttle  like I used to  on my two stroke I can tell you  that  1  it  is very difficult to time  the blip compared to  just  steady acceleration. 2  even if you  had the blip timed right , that blipping I swear  did  something wierd  to my suspension  some wierd   rebound sensation  that   just always  left me feeling like I was hanging out to dry  in the middle of the jump. 3  if you dont have the timing of the blip  things  can get ugly  quick!.

I am not sure if it is me  or what  but   if and when I jumped  that bike,  while up in the air  if I closed the throttle  the bike  just seemed to drop like a rock.  Try  holding the throttle  open  at the same speed  as when you went  up and off the jump<within moderation of course>  .
