man arrow, I think crash's gremlins musta hitched a ride on the UPS and headed your way (hehe, just messin crash =( Seriously though, that's bad luck. I dunno what you have around, but for a while I was laning mine on a full sized tramp on the ground to absob the shock a little, but mostly so it would skid if I didn't set it down straight. I wonder if you could also use a foam cushion or bedding or something =/ GL on the repairs anyway =)
