8444

<tabber>
8444 is a 5 object siteswap where none of the throws cross. One hand juggles 3 objects in the high-low pattern 8040 while the other just juggles 2. All the 8s are done with the same two objects. The 8s are about three times as high as the cascade, and the 4s are about half the height of the cascade. Each 8 should peak at the same time as the next 4 from the same hand. This is the 5 object version of 7333, and can be done either synch or asynch.
