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 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.

He got fucked up. He wasn't out of the X-Games, you can never post something like that. Whoever wrote the article failed. He went on to race in Rally Car. Got in a crash and hurt his ankle some more.
