see how many 80's references you can find in this shot of the aggro gretchen ripping up the yorkshire dales footpaths in the UK, circa 1986. bonus points for the ones that coulda caused an international incident, and double bonus for modern "hot" product that appeared here on gretchens killer ibis 25 years earlier. finally, we see what gretchen was doing mtn bike wise in 1986 - what were YOU doing ?? ready, go !!! ! !!
