 6420 is an asymmetrical 3 object siteswap where none of the throws cross. The 6 should be about 6 times as high as a basic 3 object cascade juggled at the same speed, and the 4 should be about a third of the height of the 6. Those two throws should peak at the same time. This pattern is like 42 done with active 2s, but with both throws made high enough that there is a two-beat pause before the next pair of throws. 6420 can be done either synch or asynch.
