B97531

B97531 is an asymmetrical 6 object siteswap where all the throws cross. The objects are thrown and then caught in the reverse order: the last object thrown is caught first, and the first object thrown is caught last. This is the 6 object version of 97531. The b (an "11") is four times as high as the fountain, the 9 is about 3/5 of the height of the b, the 7 is a little more than half the height of the 9, the 5 is a little less than half the height of the 7, the 3 is about a quarter of the height of the 5, and the 1 is a pass from one hand to the other. All the objects should peak at the same time.
