### Two Generations, One Passion
At its heart, *Dirt Riders* is a story about legacy and evolution. **Ken Roczen**, the German-born champion and fan favorite known for his unmatched style and comeback spirit, stands as the seasoned veteran who has seen it all — the victories, the injuries, and the relentless pursuit of greatness.
Across the track from him is **Haiden “DangerBoy” Deegan**, the young, fearless American prodigy rewriting the sport’s future. Known for his explosive riding, bold personality, and social media dominance, Deegan represents the new wave of Supercross — fearless, hungry, and unshakably confident.
Netflix’s *Dirt Riders* places both men under the same spotlight — not as competitors divided by age, but as kindred spirits driven by the same dream: to be the best in the world, no matter the cost.
> “It’s not just about speed,” Roczen says in the trailer. “It’s about how many times you can get back up after you’ve hit the ground.”
> “This sport doesn’t wait for anyone,” Deegan adds. “You either keep pushing… or you get left in the dust.”

### A Documentary Like No Other
Filmed over two seasons, *Dirt Riders* gives fans unprecedented access to the world behind the races — from grueling training sessions and emotional family moments to the psychological warfare that plays out both on and off the track.
Produced by **Box to Box Films** (the creators of *Formula 1: Drive to Survive*), the series combines cinematic race footage with deeply personal storytelling. Cameras follow Roczen through his remarkable return to top form after years of devastating injuries, while Deegan’s meteoric rise in the 250SX class is chronicled in real time, capturing the making of a modern motocross superstar.
Expect raw interviews, slow-motion race replays, and never-before-seen footage from training camps, race weekends, and life on the road. The soundtrack — a mix of high-energy rock and atmospheric instrumentals — mirrors the intensity and emotion of every turn, jump, and crash.

### Behind the Glory
Beyond the trophies and podiums, *Dirt Riders* digs deep into the mental and physical toll of Supercross. Roczen opens up about his long battle with injuries and mental health — revealing the pain behind his legendary comebacks — while Deegan faces the pressure of expectation as the son of freestyle motocross icon **Brian Deegan**.
The series also explores how the two riders inspire a new generation of fans and redefine what it means to be a professional athlete in the digital age.
> “People see the race,” says Roczen. “But they don’t see the nights you can’t move your arm, or the days you wonder if it’s worth it.”
> “I grew up watching Ken,” Deegan reflects. “Now I’m lining up next to him. That’s the dream — and the challenge.”
