| 0:00.0 | They say a pitcher is worth a thousand words, and if that's the case, Garth Milan is one of the most gifted and prolific storytellers in the history of action sports. |
| 0:11.0 | For over two decades, the motocross world has been blessed with iconic moments immortalized in a single frame. |
| 0:18.0 | Moments like this shot of the Bubavar Scrub. The most transformative move |
| 0:22.0 | in motocross history, preserved in all its glory by a savant behind the lens. His catalogue |
| 0:28.4 | of iconic images is unmatched. From his first ever cover shot for Dirt Rider, not to mention |
| 0:34.5 | the iconic trans-world posters that adorned bedrooms and garages around the world. |
