Action sports star Travis Pastrana crashed on back-to-back “TP Roll” attempts Thursday night in X Games 17 Moto X Best Trick, ending the Pastranathon during its first event.
Pastrana, who was taken off on a stretcher and transported to a hospital for X-rays, broke his right foot and ankle, according to medical officials working with ESPN. He was discharged from the hospital Thursday night. The injury will require surgery at a later date.
Pastrana’s planned NASCAR debut on Saturday will be put on hold. He is also out of the X Games.
“I am sorry this happened and will be back in action as soon as I can. I look forward to Pastranathon 2012 at X Games 18,” Pastrana told ESPN following his release from the hospital.
Going into the X Games, Pastrana had planned to compete in Best Trick and Freestyle on Thursday and Friday, fly to Indianapolis to make his NASCAR Nationwide debut Saturday, then return to Los Angeles to compete in RallyCross on Sunday. X Games 17 will be the first X event since 2002 that Pastrana has been out of medal contention.
Pastrana crashed while attempting the corked 720 that had made him a gold-medal favorite in Best Trick. Riders usually get one shot each round at throwing tricks, but Pastrana tried the 720 twice after under-rotating the first time. His second attempt ended in identical fashion and he immediately grabbed his lower leg as medical staff rushed to his side on the landing ramp.
Pastrana’s trainer, Todd Jacobs, said Pastrana will have surgery in Maryland on his foot, ankle and hand. He already had ligament damage in the hand from practice.
“No on is more disappointed than Travis,” Jacobs said. “He feels like he let everyone down and hopes everyone knows how hard he worked for this.”
Lindsay Lohan is telling friends … she’s committing herself to a healthier, more active lifestyle … cutting way back on the late-night partying — and what better way to do that … than to BUY A BICYCLE.
Sources close to Lindsay tell TMZ, the actress is beginning to face facts — it’s NOT a good idea for her to party at all hours of the morning inside bars, hotels, and restaurants.
Not only is it a terrible influence on a recovering addict — Lindsay is saying … it gives people the impression that she’s back to her old ways … when she’s not.
Gotta hand it to her — for the first time in a while, LiLo looks wheelie happy.

Tipster Will sent Jalopnik this photo from Torrance, Calif., where he says his first thought upon seeing a Veyron owner fishing for quarters was to think someone had been playing Dr. Bugatti with the Bondo and a Mercury Cougar again. Upon inspection, it turned out to be the real deal — one that Will reports was upsetting to the car wash’s owner: “He said if they take the foam brush to it he would turn it off and make them leave.”
But such a display of quarter-pinching from a Veyron owner is understandable in these hard economic times. For those not accustomed to the world of Bugattis, merely paying $2 million for the two sets of keys to your Veyron is only the beginning of an ownership journey. And it is an actual journey; your run-flat tires are only to be removed from their rims in France, and must be replaced every 2,500 miles, at a cost of about $40,000 for all four (made exclusively for the Veyron, the Michelin rubbers are not sold at your local Costco.) A “routine” service runs about $19,000; would you really trust Jiffy Lube with a car that has 10 radiators?
The Veyron actually has a clearcoat paint that’s as thick as the entire coat on regular vehicles — so they’ll be plenty to work with for a proper cleaning job. The Veyron owner left the self-service bay without drying his car, saving the two bits otherwise spent on the vending machine shammy or the highfalutin’ new-car fragrance dispenser. He was last seen heading toward the nearby dollar store, because where else can you get a whole case of ramen noodles for a buck?
