i busted the nose off my hockey 9' the other day on an ollie on flat. kinda sad about it since i really liked that deck. nice and poppy all the way through. i'm not a particularly big guy either, idk what happened. is there anything that i could do to warranty it or something, or do i just have to take the L on this one? (not sure if here is the place for this, but i didnt want to start a new thread for this)
Did that snap at the inner bolts?

i havent broken a board while skating before, partially due to the fact that im bad but i dont think ive seen one break before the bolts
Boards can only take so much up to a point and as much as that one looked like it was fairly clean straight through the bolts, that particular landing might not have been the main cause, more so just the straw that broke the camels back, so to speak.
That is also not to say that some people have found boards a bit more prone to breakage since covid restrictions and possibilities like the woodshops are not allowing decks to cure for as long as they should, but that is neither here nor there in the grand scheme of things, as the board is not covered under warranty if it breaks from pressure like that, only from manufacturing defects, delamination, etc.
When you take it apart, have a look at the bottom side of the deck and see if the truck has cut into the wood at all.
If this is the case, then yes pressure on top makes the truck actually put a sharp edge on the board which will cause it to break so much more easily than if the truck was a bit more rounded on the edge of the baseplate (which you can fix by grinding off the sharp edge of the baseplate, I even just did it on concrete gutter or footpath / sidewalk).
