Any recommendations on any upgrades and where from? I might just buy the stock ones if not. I also had a lot of really good jumps in before the shock snapped. I wish I had my wife recording us.

Busted shocks on those are pretty common. They only cost a couple bucks a piece and are easily replaced. If you want you could also upgrade to the full aluminum shock set, but even with those I have busted shafts. Your better off sticking with plastic.
