 Way to go Lopes. He almost got that #1 Pos. over Graves. Still, Graves in his prime now would never beat Lopes when he was in his prime.

 typical american patriot bullshit. Graves would beat him anytime, in 2007 world champs Graves would have won if he didnt get a flat. beat.

 Okay, so I should not have said never. Maybe 8-10 times. Graves is a GREAT rider and I have a lot of respect for him. I just saying, Lopes in his prime is better than Graves in his prime. And what the hell is wrong is being a Patriot? I'm a God Damn American Soldier fighting in a f*cking WAR!!!

 "would have won" means absolutely nothing in racing. Graves flatted and lost in the 2007 World Champs, end of story.... I would have won if I entered and was really fast and beat everyone...

 Wicked for Danny, make a track that is Danny Hart technical and there is not a rider in the world that can touch him.

 that's what i thought until i noticed the top tube which is bent towards the seat tube area. the latest trance's top tube is straight, just like the anthem. reign, reign X, faith and glory frames have the bent top tubes.
