Floor Board problems

Its prone to happen with how they are held together. I bet your probably scraping them before it comes apart. I had this same problem and ended up replacing them with some old school half moon style boards.
If the top plate didnt overlap and angle down the sides they wouldnt do that, if you scrape them enough it actually pushes up on the top plate forcing the nipples out.
I once thought about taking them apart and drilling a hold in each nipple, then putting them back together and inserting a small piece of metal clothes hanger in each drilled hole in the nipple, just to keep them from seperating.
The only time I ever had all the nipples come apart at the same time was when a little dog ran out in front of me and I couldnt do too much other then hit him, accident avoidance and gravel roads dont work well together. Well the dog ran off yelping and I had to put the nipples back together. I use to see that dog everyday. After that I didnt see him for 6 months or so, if it was the same dog.
My solution was to get new boards.

We've got this exact same issue when my wife rides. The silicone glue sounds like a good fix though. Thanks!
