GOOD NEWS: Netflix Finally Drops Trailer for the Highly Anticipated Eli Tomac and Ken Roczen Documentary—Fans Say It’s “The Ride of a Lifetime”
Motocross fans around the world are revving their engines in excitement as Netflix finally releases the official trailer for its much-anticipated documentary centered on two of the sport’s most iconic riders—Eli Tomac and Ken Roczen. The streaming giant has confirmed that the documentary, titled “Full Throttle: Tomac vs. Roczen,” will premiere globally early next year, offering fans an unprecedented look into the fierce rivalry, brotherhood, and relentless pursuit of greatness that has defined modern motocross.
The trailer, which dropped early this morning, immediately set social media ablaze. It opens with a dramatic montage of roaring engines, dirt flying through the air, and heart-pounding race clips that perfectly capture the raw energy of motocross. A narrator’s gravelly voice sets the tone: “They weren’t just racing for trophies. They were racing for legacy.”
The film promises to take viewers deep behind the scenes—far beyond the track—to explore the personal and professional journeys of Tomac and Roczen. Both men have faced monumental highs and devastating lows: career-threatening injuries, mental battles, comeback attempts, and the constant pressure of living up to legendary expectations. Netflix’s production team, known for hit sports documentaries like Drive to Survive and Quarterback, has reportedly spent over two years filming exclusive interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, and unseen archival material from the AMA Supercross and Motocross circuits.
One of the standout moments in the trailer shows Roczen reflecting on his near-career-ending injuries: “People said I’d never ride again. But when you love something this much, you fight for it.” It’s followed by Tomac’s quiet but powerful response: “When you line up at that gate, there’s no fear—only focus.” The contrast between Roczen’s emotional vulnerability and Tomac’s laser-sharp intensity perfectly captures what has made their rivalry so captivating to fans worldwide.
According to early insider reports, “Full Throttle” won’t just focus on competition—it will also highlight the mutual respect that has grown between the two riders over the years. Despite their different backgrounds and riding styles, Tomac and Roczen have developed a bond built on shared sacrifice and the unspoken understanding that only the elite few truly grasp the cost of greatness.
Netflix executives described the project as “a story of endurance, evolution, and emotion.” The series will feature commentary from racing legends, team owners, mechanics, and family members, all painting a vivid picture of what it takes to be the best in one of the most grueling sports on Earth. Fans can also expect never-before-seen race footage, training camp exclusives, and candid personal moments that reveal a side of both riders the public has rarely witnessed.
The release of the trailer has already sparked massive buzz across online motocross communities. Within hours, hashtags like #TomacVsRoczen, #FullThrottleNetflix, and #MotocrossLegacy were trending on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. Fans praised the documentary’s cinematic quality, emotional depth, and intense energy. One fan wrote, “It feels like the motocross version of Drive to Survive—finally, the world gets to see what these legends go through.” Another added, “This is exactly what the sport needs to reach a global audience. Pure adrenaline.”
Eli Tomac, who recently returned to the track after battling injuries, shared the trailer on his official Instagram with the caption: “This one’s for the fans who never stopped believing.” Roczen, equally thrilled, reposted it with a simple but heartfelt note: “Every scar tells a story. Can’t wait for you to see ours.”
Industry insiders believe the documentary could do for motocross what Drive to Survive did for Formula 1—bringing a new wave of fans to the sport and shining a spotlight on the human side of high-speed racing. With its combination of raw emotion, breathtaking cinematography, and the dramatic narrative of two of the greatest riders of their generation, Full Throttle: Tomac vs. Roczen is shaping up to be one of Netflix’s most exhilarating sports releases to date.
As the countdown begins for its 2026 release, one thing is certain—motocross has never looked this powerful, personal, or cinematic. For fans of speed, grit, and redemption, this is one ride you won’t want to miss.
“Full Throttle: Tomac vs. Roczen” premieres exclusively on Netflix in early 2026.
