| loved it. With the X-Games coming up in a week, Pastrana was sure to be a favorite to take the gold the 4th year in a row. Well, not to say the least he arrived at the X-Games on crutches and a big brace in his leg. It was due to a miscalculation at the step-up contest at the Gravity Games the week earlier. He pressed the gas a little too much, flew past the mark, and had to bail. He landed really gnarly and he blew out his knee. The odd thing was that he won that event after he crashed. It was later known that Pastrana tore most of the cartilage that connected the two bones (tib/fib and the femur). So, the chance for gold at the X-Games was gone. Never the less, Travis had a huge smile on his face, as he appeared as an announcer at the Freestyle event at the X-Games. That Injury didn’t stop him, it just made him want to get well soon and get back out there. |
