Dude, you're absolutely ripping!

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Thanks dude! Heavy on the gas

[@stevenroos]

congrats...huge respect this is my back yard 105 on those roads fearless

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Thanks big guy. Less fear when it's a closed course

[@pedro_mg]

awesome riding, congrats. That computer reset was killing me: “oh nooooo poor Steve !!”. Incredible footage, thank you for posting, missed it

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Thanks man. Yeah that was hard to keep cool

[@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy]

Looks like a fun time.

[@gilvietor1918]

Every now and then I go, hey I haven't watched Steve-o in a bit, wonder what he's up to... Oh ya, going fast and dancing with 500 pounds.

[@sarahdell4042]

Hell yes! Getting it out there. I really wanted to do this event, but saw how many people were signing up. I’m pretty slow on sand, and didn’t want to get in the way of actual racers. Good job on the win! Love the unconventional bike choice too

[@steve_kamrad5216]

You'd be fine out there. Plenty of room to pass

[@NotHunterCooper]

Your videos are like Halley's comet. Only showing up once in a long while but always a magical experience.

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Thanks coop.

[@Not.stationary]

ha ha ha my seat flew off fuck it ha ha hilarious ur riding is streesing me out just watching

[@kevincason5309]

great video. i haven't been able to find any video of people really riding the scrambler hard on challenging terrain. this certainly showed that bad boy (with the right rider) can handle it. congrats on the win. thanks for giving us a great view of it.

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Thank you so much! I have some other great videos on the Scrambler as well. Really great and fun bike

Now I wish I still had my xe, never mind. Still got my 73 cr400. Great film mate, looks like you had a blast and well done. Top top work, keep it up. ✊️👏👏👏💪✌️

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Thank you and the 400 sounds sweet

[@waynegargan8468]

More of this please Mr Kamrad….. it’s been a while…. Congrats on the win.

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Thank you and I'll try

[@daviddantzler8104]

Great recap, Steve. Loved seeing the Scrambler out there. It was my first sandblast and I screwed up the first transit and missed stage 1 but had a ball on the rest of the stages. I'll be back next year and I look forward to seeing you and everybody else again.

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Can not wait! Year 1 is a learning curve

[@yorkchris10]

I thought I was on the same course as last time, but then all of a sudden there'd be a corner. It's great to get this kind of racing on film. It looked like you adopted a technic of rear brake and starter in the corners.

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Lol. She shuts off a little too easy

[@t0kk1]

Hell yeah! Congrats again man. You mentioned DNK tune, that’s my friend Danielle’s company! That scrambler is really going to be a beast after the tune.

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Really? That's rad, there's a cam out there on the internet this bike might get as well!

[@timothyherweynen6210]

Congrats Steve! Definitely ‘big balls’ territory riding that fast on sand, epic! 👍🏻

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Thanks Tim

[@G0ld3nB3ar]

Hell yeah... What a proper thrash! Nice job Steve!!

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Thanks dude

[@d.Cog420]

Sweet to see you back on yt man, been missing it. The machine looks amazing and riding insane. Also liking the new beard length.

[@steve_kamrad5216]

More on the way! Thanks dude

[@ScramblerTales]

Hi Steve. Great Achievement. Wish I could do some Rallys with my Scrambler. But I do not feel confident enough yet and here in Europe, there are no races like you have in the US. Great info about your mods. Thanks for the video. I have one of the first editions here in Europe, still runs strong no major problems so far. (50.000km now) Except for stuff I broke myself during offroading.🏁

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Use it and abuse it then build it back

[@ScramblerTales]

@@steve_kamrad5216 doing that for the last 3 years🤣🏁

[@ssn608]

So... for next year, some sort of mod to your computer to "hard wire" the mode you want as default: Turn it on, and that mode is activated. Good job Steve! Congratulations.

[@steve_kamrad5216]

I know right! Thanks man

[@brisbaneplumberau]

Love your videos mate. You've got such a great attitude and camera presence too. It's like watching a blog from an old friend.

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Ahhh now you're making me blush

[@bonnytrippler2966]

thanks for posting, Steve. Great content and great riding. Hi from London, England.

[@scrambleringoutdoor]

Great great riding!!!!!!!! Fantastic Steve………best regards from Italy

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Thank you and cheers buddy!

[@thomasfinch5605]

Congratulations on the win man! That's some crazy speed through there! Really impressive riding. I really gotta check it out next year.

[@steve_kamrad5216]

See you there home boi

[@lifeofascrambler]

Dude you rode the fucken SEAT off that thing! I have no idea why I haven't watched this yet but its inspiring 🤙🏻 great work!

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Thanks man! Yeah I kept the pegs weighted after that!

[@MrWallexxx]

That was a lot of fun to watch! Keep it up :D

[@karlshook4586]

I wasn’t going to comment, but your hair looks great. Rock on brother.

Shhhhiiieeet

Awesome achievement. Well done!

Wish you were beer

[@gogogavin41]

Holy cow, you weren't kidding about that hole

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Didn't want anyone else to hit it!

[@fauveride]

This is crazy... very satisfying

[@steve_kamrad5216]

On the gas all day

[@09591000]

Спасибо! Отличная гонка, приятно было смотреть. Удачи!

[@timsalabimbombassa]

That was intense, love it! Going for a rally in the sand this Monday on my T7, see if I can keep it on the rev limiter as you do

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Awesome! Yeah you don't always have to shift

[@HD2O13XL12OOC]

Oh so that's how to ride fast in sand....I heard a lot of anti lock chatter and rev limiting 🤘 hard core man

[@steve_kamrad5216]

The anti lock is actually me and chain slap. No abs. But yeah keep her open and point

[@drwhipit2010]

Nice video! I hit the same thing as you at 24:08. I think it was the header from Brandon's DR in 2019!

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Lol. That would mask he sense

[@rayweeks1056]

Just watching that…….”Whew, I’m tired “….. Btw, congratulations on your First Place 🏆 ….!!!! And your 2nd overall…!!

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Thanks Raymond

[@tracerclub]

Halo Steve very nice all your videos, can you tell me the presure for this dirty tyre you use, thanks

[@steve_kamrad5216]

26 on trails. 18 here

[@jacobshirley7155]

I want to make it out there really bad. How much time can one get to prepare for the race if unfamiliar with the course?

[@steve_kamrad5216]

We don't pre run the course, so you just show up and race it

[@ablaze3717]

Great video💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Cheers dude

[@ClintsCrypt]

Great riding and great video. Congrats on your first place plaque. The Scrambler looks awesome. If you had to pay for all the modifications you have done, how much do you think you would have invested in your Scrambler? It sounds like you have invested a lot! I am still waiting for our house to sell for us to move to Australia, where I plan to get my Scrambler and start my moding and new riding journey. 😊

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Thanks and I have paid for all my mods. Like 6k easy in suspension. Lol

[@thisisme7587]

Too shelf riding but seriously, eat the cookie man haha. I've been through this with you before but i still can't work out your tender spring mod. Tried flipping the bushing and spring but not fitting. Would love to see a photo of it Anyway awesome vid 👍

[@steve_kamrad5216]

So you flip the black plastic bushing and leave the springs where they are. Hopefully this makes sense. If you look at the black plastic piece it's longer in one direction so the black tops out faster once you flip it. We did clean up the inside of it with a lath so it slides over the shock body easier too

[@jacobshirley7155]

@triumph please sponsor this guy!!!

[@HoagesMoto]

Awesome as always Steve, have you considered 1. A lighter set of pipes (akro/Verex)? and 2. a DNK tune? I'm from over in Aus and it's been hard to get much trustworthy info out of DNK about their product - would be mega to see someone like yourself put their work to the test in terms of rideability and durability. Cheers man

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Heard a lot of good things about dnk here. The verex is really sweet but I can't wrap that kind of cash up in an exhaust.

[@braunstapley5349]

Steve, awesome race! My choice between the Ducati Desert Sled and the 1200XE was ultimately decided by watching your first Sand Blast video. I wanted a motorcycle with a classic style but with great off-road capabilities. The constant reviews by people unfamiliar with off-road riding were simply irritating. I found your real approach and decided on the 1200XE. So far I love the bike and put it through the same style of riding. I’m glad to see you are still racing Sand Blast. I’m in the South West U.S. and want to enter rally races now that I know how to handle and control the bike in sand, stone, and mud at decent speeds. Any suggestions on rally races in AZ, NM, NV, or TX worth entering? Congratulations on the top finish!

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Whoa! Thank you man. So look into panam rally and baja rally is the best place to learn

[@braunstapley5349]

@@steve_kamrad5216 Thank you for the leads. The Sonoran Rally 2022 looks like a great race/opportunity. It’s in October, I think I just might…

[@deancoetzee500]

You are handling that bike well. Moving Its not a 300. On the limiter all the way in the thick sand. No issues with that motor?

[@steve_kamrad5216]

No issues at all. That motor has a really low red line so it can live on it.

[@deancoetzee500]

@@steve_kamrad5216 cool thanks man.

[@sarahdell4042]

How do you like the fat front tire vs a standard size? Does it grab every little rut?

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Nah it's fine especially with the fat rim they just kinda match

[@xveganx]

105 on sand! Impressive

[@deancoetzee500]

You are ringing that Triumphs neck in the thick sand. Any issues with that motor?

[@EtSaeta]

Where/how do you train for something like this? Are you headed to the RevZilla Adventure Fest in July?

[@steve_kamrad5216]

I race dirt bikes, training for big speed is dangerous so I just make sure I'm mentally prepared and clear minded. Might make adv fest

[@paul.vanhout57]

Impressive ride and result! Did you have traction control on; seems like I heard it engage when you accelerated hard in the loose stuff. Amazing what you are able to do on that beast👍

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Full off. That's either the tire getting traction or the rev limiter

[@paul.vanhout57]

@@steve_kamrad5216 -Ah the rev limiter👍

Thanks my dude!

The off-set dash is so Kamrad 😄

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Had to

[@dannymcguiness3103]

Looks like jersey sand like in Wharton state forest! Lots of sugar sand!

[@steve_kamrad5216]

It's more slippery somehow down south. Maybe smoother and rounder grains

[@MuddyFenders]

wait... why you got the keyfob in the steering lock??

[@steve_kamrad5216]

It holds it and it's always there.

GSA rider Oh my tire pressure warning light is on better end the ride and trailer it into the dealer for service. Scrambler rider Oh there goes my seat... who cares stand up hang on and pin it. just kidding everybody one of my best friends rides a GSA. Steve makes this look so fun every year I think I want to go but then I remember I dont like sand boo and BTW such a cool bike

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Yeah the gsa would not like this torture. You can do it but it's just literally all sand and some deep stuff too. Cheers buddy

[@ibuti01]

I would have stopped to pick up my seat, I don't want to know how much a KTM RFR seat costs. Hell I stopped in the middle of a stage to pick up Jason Adams time card. LOL! Nice one! I'm tired watching that. Eat the feking cookie tabarnac!

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Lol! Yeah I got the seat back. Combo car picked it up

[@scottcottontx]

Nice run. You got tired twice, computer got tired once, license plate and seat, dead tired.

[@scottcottontx]

Odd thing, my original comment was "Nice r i p" but apparently YT doesn't like that particular word. So, nice wrip.

[@steve_kamrad5216]

All the tired. My rear tire is tired too

[@rizky1200]

Maybe you should take that scrambler to romaniacs.

[@steve_kamrad5216]

That's a very good but not my cup of tea idea. I like woods racing but hard enduro is not the move

[@lenghtofpull]

24 hours of Appalachia check it out

[@petethepunisher3015]

Would of been better with out the music,so we could hear the bike. I thought that's what it's about, motor bike ,not music

[@steve_kamrad5216]

Wind noise and revs? Nah
