 8642 is an asymmetrical 5 object siteswap where none of the throws cross. One hand juggles 3 balls in the high-low pattern 8040, while the other hand juggle 2 balls at 6 ball height (siteswap 6020), only throwing once for every time the hand juggling 3 throws twice. This pattern can be done either synch or asynch. The 8s are 3 times as high as the basic pattern, the 6s are half that height, and the 4s are about a third of the height of the 6s. In the asynch pattern, all three of these throws should peak at the same time. All the 4s are done with the same object.
