Next trick that I'm going to show you is site swap notated 6, 6, 3, 1. Now it's very hard, again, to understand this type of trick without some knowledge of site swaps. To describe it, it's basically two high straight throws, a short cascade level throw, and a vamp underneath it. It looks like this. That was one on each side. Now like these entire even number site swap tricks, you can switch the direction with a "4" in between. That was a bad example! Let me try again. Now this trick is a little difficult because usually you'll tend to cheat on the timing of the straight throws. As you can see, my two straight throws often come down synched because my second one is much lower. Try to get yourself to keep the asynchronous rhythm and thus the relative height of the throws so that you can fall directly back into an asynchronous four-ball pattern. Good luck!
