5551

5551 is an asymmetrical 4 object siteswap where all the throws cross, mostly at 5 object height (about twice as high as the basic fountain pattern), but on every fourth beat an object is passed straight across from one hand into the other (always with the same hand). This is the 4 object version of 441, and can be used as an exercise to prepare for learning to juggle 5.
Before learning this pattern, you should already be good at 3 ball high flashes, 3 ball showers, 5511, and 552 (starting each one from both sides).
