The Yuni Frames are pretty tough, though they use a 22.2 Seatpost.

You may end up spending almost that much shipping back and forth unless
they pay for it.

I second that emotion. I've thrown my Yuni down cliffs and it still
comes back for more. I've been hard pressed to even dent or scratch my
Yuni!

yesterday i called Torker USA and they told us to send the whole uni to
them to inspct for abuse...

i guess that's one way to eliminate their potential replacement costs.

the 'nimbus' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=851) 'ii'
(http://tinyurl.com/5kkon) frame would make a good replacement. you
can get it in black and it uses a 25.4 post like the dx. not sure how
it compares to the yuni for strength. i think i'm going to use my dx
frame for my freestyle uni. it would probably hold up fine for that,
and it has really great foot support. might be too big for freestyle
though, not sure...

like i said, if you get the nimbus ii frame you can use the same post
and get it in black instead of chrome so it still matches everything
else.

I still strongly recommend it for the money. If you get the 24" its
significantly cheaper than the Qu-Ax 24" even if you end up having to
replace the frame down the road. The trials version of the DX is still
cheaper than the qu-ax trials and ends up costing about the same if you
have to replace the frame later on (which most people wont have to do).

i hopped onto a small 1 foot tall ledge and cleared a 4 foot long patch
of rocks.. but when i hopped on the 1 foot tal ledge i heard a snapping
sound...

basically, the weld was just really really crappy

It seems like the Yuni frame is the same thing as on my uni. It seems
really strong ,the crown is slanted a bit and it seems really stout. I
don't put severe pressure on it though. I'd recommend it..

Don't worry about it. I ride really hard muni on mine, and it's held up
so far. Steep hills, 5-6 foot drops, that kinda stuff. It'll probablly
break on me sometime, but it should hold up fine for you.

im not surprised that you have snapped it, i snapped mine months ago
along with the pedals, seatpost, seat (both steel and plastic and
foam).
in short... dont repair the frame, it will only break again and
breaking frames is not safe and can lead to serious injury.
