Torker lx bearings

Today I was doing some hopping and I hopped off a 1.2 foot drop on my
torker lx. Well all seemed fine until 20 minutes later when i realized
my uni was making noise. My left bearing had cracked. It is still
ridable but there is some resitance at the same point every revolution.
Where can i get a new bearing? Are some bearings stronger than others?
Does this happen to alot of people? Was i landing my drop wrong?

thanx

zo

If you broke the bearings, you must've landed pretty hard on the seat. I'm no dropping expert, but I think you should try to absorb most of the shock with your legs, putting most of the stress on the pedals, cranks, and wheelset (not on the bearings, frame, and seat). Or maybe you overtightened your frame around the bearings?
