891

891 is a symmetrical 6 object siteswap. The 9s are about 1 1/3 times as high as the 8s, which are twice the height of the basic pattern juggled at the same speed. There are three objects that are always thrown as 8s, and three that are always thrown as 9s.
This is an excited state siteswap, starting in the state 11101101. You can enter 891 from the basic pattern using the transition 778 (so you do two 8s in a row), and exit back to the basic pattern with the transition 35:
