tional Raceway) on the Yamaha YZF-R1. I
think next year I'll pretty much be doing all
the same stuff as I am this year, apart from
maybe focusing on AFT or continuing to
do Super Hooligan racing full-time. I'm
never going to stop doing it all. I'm super
fortunate to be able to do that.
What do you do during the week
when you're not racing?
A lot of times it's emailing sponsors.
It's nonstop. This time of year, it's trying
to get contracts for 2019 settled in and
just maintaining relationships. Or I'll be
ordering parts for bikes. I don't have a
manager, so I'm doing emails all the time.
I'm doing my social media stuff, planning
trips, videos and photo stuff.
If I was just racing Super Hooligan,
I wouldn't be doing a whole lot in the
week, but when you have motocross
bikes, a flat track bike, a Super Hooligan
bike, a road race bike, there's a lot of
bike work to be done. My life just seems,
during race season, to be a cycle of
loading the van up, going racing, coming
home, unloading, bike prepping, maybe
practicing, loading it all back up and do-
ing it all over again. It's just mayhem.
We've covered motocross, flat
track, Super Hooligan, road rac-
ing, supermoto, occasional free-
style. Do you do trials riding?
What about speedway?
I've done trials. I'm friends with a family
that are well-known in the Northwest that
have a 50-acre property that's completely
set up for trials riding. It's like the Pas-
tranaland of trials. There're obstacles and
courses and trails everywhere. I could
get lost on their property.
I've never tried speedway, but it looks
fun. I would really like to do some more
supermoto for fun. For me, I just love
racing. I was doing Super Hooligan stuff
when there were plastic trophies on the
line and I'd drive 1000 miles to Southern
California to race. It's just a bonus to be
able to make something from it. It's never
been about money or anything like that. I'll
race anything I can for fun because I love
it and I want to do it. It's been cool to say
I'm a motorcycle racer, and I'm just trying
to keep this going as long as I can. CN
DiBrino's XG750

and he uses it
to good effect
in the Super
Hooligan
Championship.
