Cameron videos and products helped revive many older moto machines. Godspeed Cameron.

We were blessed to have him in our sport. If you ever sat in your garage and thought “how could I make this bike sexier for next to nothing,” it wouldn’t be long before you found him. Godspeed.

Very sad news. He's been battling reoccurrence for years. I've been a fan of his since the beginning. RIP brother.

I've been working in the diagnostic oncology industry for many years now as a software developer. Work my ass off every day to try to give cancer patients the best chance of recovery. F cancer.

That guy convinced me to get back into dirt biking after 7 years off the bike and to rebuild a yz250 from the ground up when I found his channel. I learned a ton from his channel at that time. Admittedly I haven’t been on in a while, but I did watch a video not that long ago where he sounded like he was in remission after getting cancer yet again. This is such a bummer.

I really really enjoyed his videos, and as someone else mentioned, helped my daughter gain a little interest in the mechanical side of dirtbiking.

I always was stoked to see a new video uploaded from him.  He had tremendous energy and a positive vibe.

I feel for his family.

We all welcomed Cameron into our lives through YouTube, and he never failed to inspire. He encouraged so many to build bikes and make them more beautiful, The guy never backed down. This is truly an unfairness in the world.

Prayers to his family.

Shit man, this is major bummer. I remember when he revealed his cancer diagnosis a few years back, happened to be the while i was with my wife in the hospital who was getting her thyroid removed due to cancer. Its been a little bit since I've watched his stuff, but last i knew he seemed to be doing better. RIP

He posted on YouTube 3 -4 months ago that he had a reoccurrence but he intended to fight. He mentioned alternative medicine. I can think of a few people I know personally that I wouldn't lose any sleep if they got ass cancer. The world needs more Cameron Niemelas.

Fuck. He inspired my CR250 restoration. I still have a bunch of his aluminum restoration products.  What a damn shame.
