New Board Day

Spec is Bossa Rio 28, GBomb SDF and TTX, 45° Poppy and Pantheon Hokus.

Holy shit, I see why pumpers love a torsion tail. That on top of monster truck wheels, this build pumps like a dream and rolls forever. Gonna ride this baby on Saturday for the Tour De Nashville 45 mile route, if anyone else is out here in Tennessee come along!

Someone please help me not go crazy, tell me bad news if you have to.

Setup is SuperDuperSonic with DT slalocybins in the front and rear. Pop first developed about 50 miles ago and I thought it was hardware sinkage/spread, so I threw a bracket on it but there’s no improvement.

I’ve already verified that it’s not loose mounting hardware, I don’t think it’s the sphericals just because of how loud it is from such little movement, and I’ve made sure the baseplate angle adjustment bolts are super tight and lightly lubricated (prior to assembly) since I know that can also cause unnecessary binding.

Board has about ~400 miles on it. I’m not new to boarding but this is my first serious distance build, is my deck delaminating? Do I need to Godzilla tighten the angle adjustment bolts on the baseplate? Is god telling me I’ve strayed too far?

Any commentary is appreciated from my more experienced brethren

TL;DR: Does the pop in this video sound like delamination or something else?

EDIT: sound wound up being the hanger popping out of the spherical just slightly, as well as a crack in the tail.
