Which way do you guys rev match?

If you blip the throttle while depressing the clutch the engine revs free'er since the transmission side is not bogging the engine with weight. You want to time it so as you engage the lower gear (while in your heel & toe downshift ) the revs are cascading down. Remember: work on the theory that each downshift will require a 1000rpm blip over the rpm you were maintaining at the gear you just evacuated.
I'm having a little trouble following twixboy example since there is no reference to braking - but don't worry about applying throttle with clutch pedal depressed.
