oh my god, that's such a mean thing to say to me!!
I'm v sensitive about my age... I look younger apparently too!!:p
I learned when I was younger, but kept it up. Its very enjoyable.
esp in the summer when you can juggle outside.

I have illuminous juggling balls.. they 'like totally rock'!

Well there are a good few groups that meet in dublin during the week... Mostly in the universities - so thay'll have stopped most likely till january.

amazingemmet · 19-12-2006 3:33am

Stopped have they eh? shame means your gonna have to wait even longer now to see my soon to be legendary excalibur double (yes double) duicide.

larryone · 19-12-2006 2:51pm

wtf?
How does that even work?
Posted a video to diabolo.ca yet?

I'm not certain about the whole break thing, I'm just presuming. I've been in Cork so I cant be sure.

... and I finally managed to actually get the whole 3 ball juggling thing. Took me ages, but it's there now. Got about 60 catches last night =0) Still working on that third diabolo =0)

You'll have to show someone sooner or later... you'll be juggling secretly somewhere somday.. and someone will spot you and your trick will go nationwide!!!!!!

Come on!! I'd love to learn new tricks!! :-)

Heya, beginner at diabolo juggling and I'm just wondering if there's any kind of meetups happening in Dublin? City Centre would be best for me.

Splinter · 04-09-2009 10:31am

Hey there,

yeah theres a meetup every tuesday evening in Merrion square during the summer months and then in Goldsmith hall in trinity on tuesday evenings starting in october and running for the winter months. if you want any more information just let me know

Splinty

Gippart · 04-09-2009 9:06pm

heh, I'd like some more info

about the october onwards classes.

Splinter · 08-09-2009 1:10pm

no worries, they arent classes as such, more just juggling meetups where people go every tuesday or trinity or wednesday in DIT (up near parnel street). both are indoors and out of the rain and although they are held by the colleges, non college goers pop along (myself included). tuesdays is in Goldsmith hall (just under the pearse street bridge) from 7pm til 9 or 10pm and wednesdays i will double check for ya and post back later

Heya,

yes there is a juggling store in Dublin city in Temple bar. its called "jugglin' Dublin" and they stock all ranges of diabolos from low to high price. It is located in the crowestreet bazaar (stand outside the button factory in temple bar with your back to it, look left and you will see a "head" store. go into it and follow it through and you find a small bizaare of shops, one of which is the one your looking for

also the dublin juggling festival is coming up in late March so keep an eye for more info

dylan_f_juggle · 23-02-2010 5:45pm

ah great thanks, ive been to jugglin and i am not the fondest of their stuff...is there anywhere else ?

Splinter · 23-02-2010 5:54pm

not in Dublin as such, what type of diabolo would you prefer? is there a particular brand? i have a henrys circus myself and a harlequin and i prefer the Henrys, picked it up at the dublin convention 2 years back.

on a side note if you dont mind me asking, what was it that didnt make you fond of their stuff?

Hanley · 20-03-2010 1:20am

How hard is it to learn a 5 ball cascade? or any 5 ball juggle if there's any easier version...? I learned to 3 ball in about a week and can consistently hit 30-50 throws now before I start to over think and mess up!!

amazingemmet · 20-03-2010 12:24pm

Its not too difficult it took me about three weeks to get it to about 20catches many a year ago. just work on throwing your 3 ball cascade the height of five, slightly above your head, when you can do that consistently for about 60 catches with out moving too much just go for it and see. Also if you're in hercs my gf, Alex is training o-lifting there til tuesday try grab her and she can give you some pointers.
