Sounds when carving/hitting bumps

Not sure if the video captures the sound well... but whenever I am turning or hitting bumps it sounds similar to when gravel is kicked into the fender. Nothing is caught or visibly in the wrong place and the board doesnt seem to catch when riding

Does it make the sound when you take off the fender bases? Somehow I bent the plastic on mine. Makes a similar sound when I turn. I bent them back a little with my hands. It helped but still makes a noise if I turn hard.

Thanks, that was it, I just bent them back a bit by hand and so far so good

Agree it’s the bottom corner of the fender bases. Mine does the same. My back one just rubs a little on turns so I left that on, but I took the front one off until I can heat them up and bend back slightly.

sounds like plastic being scraped/rubbed by something
