I broke a spoke today.

It's quite annoying because I go away for a week tomorrow morning and
won't have time to repair it. I broke the spoke closest to the ground
when in normal hopping position.

So will it be alright if I ride on it for the next week? I won't be
doing any sorts of drops or anything, only practising tricks such as
unispins on flat ground.

Also, I broke the nipple (bit that screws onto the top of the spoke)
not the actual spoke and it pulled through the rim and the spoke got a
bit bent. Will I just need to buy a new nipple and bend the spoke back?
I think a nipple will be a lot easier to buy than a spoke to fit a 19"
rim, especially where I live. Unicycle.co.nz only sells 13 gauge spokes
and I need 14 gauge for a nimbus rim.

Thanks
