Just came across the news on Instagram, absolutely gutted by this as it seemed like he was really starting to make a recovery. Been a long time fan of this man and learned so much about working on dirt bikes from his videos. Seemed like such a genuinely nice and easy going guy, perfect person to park next to at the track. I’d be willing to bet a lot on here also learned a thing or two from his YouTube videos. Rest in peace, Cameron.

This one hurts. His faith and perseverance were so amazing to observe through his fight with cancer. Rest in peace, Cameron. What a GOAT.

His plastic and metal polishing supplies sold under the name "Pryme" always worked great. So sad to hear this.

He seemed like a really good dude.

He fought hard.

I'll keep his family in my prayers.

Horrible news. I remember talking with Cameron back in the days about his Finnish heritage, seemed like a really nice fellow and I always liked his videos.

Rest in peace.

What a shame. I learned a lot from his videos, as I'm sure a lot of people did. Incredibly knowledgeable and talented. I pray for his wife and two kids.

This sucks! always been a fan of Camerons build and he always was easy to learn from. I watched his last video not too long ago and he was optimistic. I pray for his wife and kids. I hope they know how much of a great figure he was in the moto community! FUCK CANCER!

This one hits hard. Cam and I never met in person but we've chatted on the phone before and I always loved the handwritten thank you notes in my orders. 

My condolences go out to his family, as they lost a true man and great person. This is definitely a major loss to the industry as his always positive attitude, even in the middle of all his struggles, pumped everyone up to do better. 

 

God speed Cameron

So sad. His videos helped me get my daughter into moto. She loved watching his stuff. It’s not fair, I hope his family can find some peace.

RIP Cameron. 

I really enjoyed his YT channel and he seemed like a genuinely good guy. I knew that his cancer was back, but I didn't know it was that dire. Prayers to his family.

I loved Cameron's videos because it always seemed like a normal guy building those bikes, no million dollar shop or crazy unattainable tools. 

 

So sad! A legacy that will live on though.

Myself as a man with stage 4 brain cancer, I feel horrible to hear about Cameron. I used to follow and talk to him back in the day. God speed...
