Andrea Hestler aka "Dre" started his career in mountain biking in 1986, the same year the creators of Ultramontane were born. 25 years later after a long and successful world cup career Dre still has an unrivalled passion for cycling and adventure.

It was only a matter of time before Ultramontane and Dre collaborated. Dre showed us the ropes with all-mountain riding and continues to smash us with his old man strength.

We have a lot of fun shooting with Dre, hes always has a story or plans for a wicked ride. He also has a keen interest in photo and video, which really helps when putting in the hours making a edit.

No one is more deserving of this legendary track than MTB's own DRE

Did you think Dre was just a skinny tire riding lycra boy? The man can shred - and rock short sleeves with snow on the ground.

This is THE example for us european riders. We don't have such "builded" trails. But it should be possible. So nice.

It's amazing how his shoes go from black to white and then to black again.
