834 is a symmetrical 5 object siteswap. The 8s are about three times as high as a cascade of 5 done at the same speed, and more than five times as high as the 4s, which should be about twice as high as the 3s. Each 4 should peak at the same time as the previous 8. All the 3s are done with the same object.
