Acclaimed filmmaker Troy Adamitis, creator of The Great Outdoors, chronicles Lucas and Sacha Coenen's trip from Latvia, where they dominated in MXGP, to Colorado in the USA for their first AMA Pro Motocross race. Who are these Belgium twins? Why do they want to race in America so badly? How can their father, Raf, help guide them in their journey? Their performances in Colorado (second in the 450 class for Lucas, a moto win in the 250 class for Sacha) shows the potential with another American race looming in Southwick.
That was worth watching.
What a classy family.
Bring it on over guys. Hard to not be a fan after that video.
I love seeing foreigners have so much excitement to come over to America, embrace the culture and see just how good it is over here, regardless of all the negative noise going on.
So looking forward to seeing them at Southwick.
Welcome! Look forward to these boys racing here full time.

Good watch, is that Deegz place in Temecula that they were staying at?
Darn it..., Spellcheck did it to me again! Changed "Jett" to "Haiden!"
deegen could stand to take some serious lessons from these two boys. Lucas will give him another free lesson at the Wick for sure though.
Which lesson should Deegan learn?Deegan has won everything in the US on the 250,the twins till now,nothing!!!What about SX,how competitive will they be in their first year?I am an euro guy,but Deegan haters like you are the worst.Lucas is a phenom on the 450 at his age,but he has still to learn a lot.Next year,he and his twin will taste the american way of life,especial SX.Lets wait and see.
I really distance myself from these childish discussions and dont want to get involved. Just wanted to point out that Sacha won already (2nd moto at thunder valley)
Looks like it. That pool is peak 90s Cali pings back yard spec
Guys like Lucas and Jett are so polished at 19/20.
No need to wait and see. deegen needs to learn to be thankful for his opportunities and what fans he still has at the moment. A lesson in humility would be good as well.
Absolute terrific point! Those boys seem pretty great all around. On and off track.
I am not a fan of Deegan,but i love his intensity and never give up attitude.I am old enough to ignore his antics!
I think the level in europe in the 250 class is higher than in the US.The race win of Sacha was not a surprise,but the main goal for the Coenens will be SX
