No Ordinary Passenger is a short film directed by Cabel Hopkins that takes a look into the life and times of iconic sidecar racer Stan Dibben. In 1953 Dibben made up half of the two man team that won the World Sidecar Championship, a feat that he remembers in detail during the film.
It won the Best Short Documentary category at the Motorcycle Film Festival and it’s since been included in the excellent Short Film Showcase presented by National Geographic.
