Default Bad week...

Well, this hasnt been the greatest week for me and my quad...

Last weekend i was practicing at birch creek and nosedived a 55ft double and bent my lower left a-arm and cracked my lower right a-arm. So in order to race this weekend i had to put my entire stock front end back on [even stock shocks]. Well, im racing in Lexington this weekend, and in practice i hit a nice stepup jump and had a huge head of steam coming into a 35 foot double, and ended up overshooting it and landing about 25 feet past the landing. When i landed, the stock shocks rebounded and the whole quad jumped in the air and landed sideways. My right side tires dug into the dirt and i rolled it sideways. I came off the raptor, as it went barrel rolling about 3 full rolls over a burm and off the track and i ended up laying ontop of he burm and jumped upto my feet. It knocked the air out of me and i couldnt move my wrist. I ended up with a fractured wrist and lots of bruises and some scratches. Only a bent brake lever, crushed kill switch, and one tierod bent to He11. Which are the best tierods to buy for stock a-arms that will hold together on advanced MX tracks until i can get my gibson stuff right again?
