|}8844 is a 6 object siteswap where none of the throws cross. Each hand juggles 3 objects in the high-low pattern 8040. The 8s are about twice as high as the fountain, and the 4s are about a third of the height of the fountain. The right-hand 8 and the right-hand 4 should peak at the same time, and the left-hand 8 and the left-hand 4 should peak at the same time. All the 4s are done with the same two objects. This is the 6 object version of 7733, and can be done either synch or asynch.

== Siteswap exercises ==
You can use these exercises to practice the same kinds of throws and sequences 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 able to do the pattern on either side.
