990

990 is a symmetrical 6 object siteswap where all the throws cross. This pattern has a right-left-pause-left-right-pause rhythm like 882. The 9s should be about 2 1/2 times as high as the basic pattern juggled at the same speed. In this pattern there are two sets of 3 objects that are each juggled in a slow cascade (900).
This is an excited state siteswap, starting in the state 11011011. You can switch from the fountain to 990 with the transition 7788, and back to the basic pattern with the transition 24:
