Listen to the story of possibly the fastest Australian racer you may not have heard of! Our first one on one for the Inside Dirt show is a rider I go way back with who is genuinely one of the most interesting stories in Australian Motocross. Choosing the route less travelled, Andy Dinicol gave up a shot at National success as a promising junior racer to chase the American Dream as an amateur racer. We dive into Andy's journey of leaving home at 15, living at some of the top training facilities in the world, winning Amateur titles, breaking his neck, not making the cut at Loretta's and finally his return to Australia and after a big injury before Aus X open, his transition into the real world with his mx career on pause.
