Unless you have a factory support team with unlimitted spares, maybe you should moderate your riding style. Ponds dont just come out of nowhere. if you are riding a new trail, you should explore it before speeding along.
Racers ride along cleared circuits and often inspect the course before the race.

In an emergency stop, you can reduce rear-end rise by shifting your weight right back along the saddle. Although crashing is hard to avoid altogether when doing extreme riding, it should be a point of pride to stay on the bike.

You should be able to true the rim fairly well without a truing stand. These are useful if you build up a lot of wheels or need to re-true regularly.
