(8,6x)*

(8,6x)*, short for (8,6x)(6x,8), is a symmetrical synchronous 7 object siteswap where four objects are juggled in a fountain while the other three are done in a cascade. Each time you throw, one hand does a high non-crossing throw (an 8), and the other hand does a crossing throw at half that height (a 6x). This the 7 object version of (6,4x)*.

== Siteswap exercises ==
You can use these exercises to practice the same kinds of throws that are done in this pattern, before you learn the full pattern.
Some of the siteswaps listed below are shortened to leave out parts where you’re not doing anything. Click on them to see animations of the exercises.
You should practice doing these starting with your right hand and with your left hand, so that you will be ready to learn the full symmetrical pattern.
