Zack Warden Breaks an Ankle

Zack Warden was trying alley-oop 540s on the vert resi at Woodward East yesterday when things took a bad turn. He landed halfway on the resi and halfway on the ramp, which resulted in him getting flung onto flatbottom hard enough to give him whiplash. After he sat there for a minute he realized that his ankle hurt, and it turned out to be broken. Zack is scheduled to see an orthopedic surgeon on Monday to schedule surgery, and he's taking this all in stride.

"I ride vert... This is my first broken bone, so I can't complain. It happens," Zack said.

Zack also came up with an interesting recovery program. His foot needs to be elevated, so right now he is driving from State College, PA to St. Louis, MO for Christmas—with his foot on the dashboard. This dude rules.
