Kraton 6s Mega launch with First Breakage

Finally got some good alone time with the Beast, testing new Tekno Oranges at local spot, refaced jump with a fat lip and busted some fairly huge airs, pushed it too hard and snapped shock shaft at the base. Mega backflip was the final blow. Anyone else do this before? Had stock oil in.
Yup. I snapped the front right shock shaft in the same place doing the same thing. I also broke the front suspension mount twice. Of course my driving wasn't nearly as good as yours. I broke the shock shaft doing a cartwheel off a huge jump. The first time I broke the suspension mount I crashed full speed into a bush the second time I was doing back flips off some crazy jumps at a construction site. I changed my shock springs out to the tekno orange and noticed a big difference. Thanks for the tip on the dif lube. I ordered some new bearings and when they come in I'm gonna take it all apart Clean everything replace the bearings and lube everything up.
 
@The Rock thanks bro. You're the second person to reply with cartwheels breaking the shaft. In hindsight, I forgot to adjust my shock collars upward like with the Outcast. Kraton rear was way too stiff and probably contributed to shaft breaking. Happy New year and as always happy bashing, too!!!
