You are correct they had much more fun at Brixton, more time skating and generally getting used to being around more skaters doing skate things.
Interesting to see the range of ages and ability there, and the ebb and flow of busy times, emptyish times. Really good day for it today. And they already want to go back.
Have mentioned going in the mornings of the summer holidays, but not everyday.
I even got a chance to skate round and see what I need to practice and improve, and the new pads (elbow and wrist) weren’t too annoying either..

I can (virtually) guarantee they'll like Brixton even more.
Yes, totally sensible with pads, etc. I wouldn't recommend my approach to anyone else. Plus it's all very well for me to say it didn't do me any harm grinding off half my skin falling on gravel as a child. I'd have probably been a better/less over cautious skater if I'd not hurt myself quite as much. I always had a really good ability to visualise exactly how I was likely to injure myself, which consequently made me not keen to throw myself at handrails, etc.
