Interview
You're one of the few who
can call themselves a le-
gitimate, full-time motorcycle
racer, correct?
Yeah, I guess so. The Super
Hooligan stuff has helped me find
a way to just race motorcycles and
make money, especially with how
much attention it's been getting
and the support everyone's been pouring into it.
I think people like the fact that I do all these different
things, but realistically the Super Hooligan series itself is why
I'm able to do what I do and not have a normal job.
It's ironic, isn't it, that the Super Hooligan series
has become the main source of income for racing?
Yeah, it's crazy. It all started for me in 2017 when RSD
(Roland Sands Design) announced the Super Hooligan se-
ries and I had commitments through the whole MotoAmerica
season. When I found out all this money they were putting
up and the prize [a new Indian FTR750], I said, "Hey, dad, I
got this XG750 that See See Motorcycles has [Andy's spon-
sor], that's set up. I got to do this." There was a shot to win a
motorcycle and make money for real.
He wasn't too happy about it at first, just because he didn't
know what Super Hooligan was going to be, if it was going to
be the real deal or not. It was a risky move, but it paid off huge.
