Summary
Cameron Steele joins us for Chapter 375! Cam has lived every facet of the action sports life — from growing up watching his dad race trucks, to racing motocross in his youth, freeriding, and riding in the early days of Freestyle Motocross. He went on to land a commentating gig, building an incredible career in action sports, from calling some of the biggest X Games moments — like Travis Pastrana’s double backflip — to becoming a voice on ESPN and covering legendary off-road events like the Baja 1000. But Cam hasn’t just commentated at Baja — he’s raced it numerous times on both two and four wheels, and still competes today in his truck, racing through the deserts of Mexico. What makes Cameron stand out is how he carries himself and gives back, channeling the positive energy from off-road racing into sharing the stoke with others, supporting communities, and helping those less fortunate.
Cam is a stand-up guy, and we’re stoked to finally have him on the podcast — this one was a long time coming.
