864 is a symmetrical 6 object siteswap where none of the throws cross. The 8s are non-crossing throws about twice as high as the fountain, the 6s are the same height as the basic fountain pattern, and the 4s are about a third of the height of the fountain. All three of these throws should peak at the same time. All the 6s are done with the same two objects. This is the 6 object version of 753.
