504 is a symmetrical 3 object siteswap. The three objects are juggled in a high cascade, like in the slow cascade 522, but after each crossing throw (5), the same hand throws another object at half that height (a 4), which will be caught in the same hand before it has to be thrown again as part of the cascade. The 0 is a pause for one beat between throws from the same hand.
This is an excited state siteswap (starting in the state 1011), but the transitions from the basic pattern to 504 and back are very simple, and don't actually require any throws that aren't part of those patterns.
Siteswap exercises[]
You can use these exercises to practice the same kinds of throws and sequences of throws that are done in this pattern, before you learn the full pattern.
Some of the siteswaps listed below are shortened to leave out parts where you’re not doing anything. Click on them to see animations of the exercises.
You should practice doing these starting with your right hand and with your left hand, so that you will be ready to learn the full symmetrical pattern.
