Chain tensioners can be a good idea.
Easiest thing to check first would be how tight are you torquing the axle nuts down to? For a solid axle nut nut like your jump bike, or on a BMX or track bike – it’s common for them to be torqued to 30-40Nm.
Are you using a suitably sized wrench to do so? Rather than a piddly multi-tool wrench.
