It looks like AJ Catanzaro and his Moto Academy purchased the Georgia Practice Facility (GPF). It this accurate and does anyone have the deets?

Jett is or was. Not sure the details.

But they are both managed by mirtl.

Kinda seemed like they used jett to promote the academy, and do some training days to help the academy grow. I don't know if they invested in his business or just used them self to help cats business grow. They don't seem to do much.

We still have an active partnership with Jett. He is employed as a coach inside our app for members to send videos to for breakdowns. We are planning more classes included the Bros but their time is hard to come by between January and October

I spent a lot of time at GPF between 2003 and 2008. There is very little changed from when I left. I'm glad to see it is getting a facelift with some new ideas. The property has a ton of potential. Good luck AJ!

We’re hoping it’s almost unrecognizable by the time we open. The three new supercross pads will be amazing. And the national track is being built around the idea of having the most fun jumps of all time.

I might be biased living in Cairo but GPF is one of the best tracks around

I’d go just to rent that RBSR CR125!

Do you plan to also rent different current manufacturers model bikes? That’d be great to be able to try out different models to see if it fits you before taking the plunge and buying one…among all other benefits the facility has.

Looks awesome, congrats Aj and the team! 

That sx progression concept is really cool. Would love to have a go at that.

That would be a large ask. No way that would be possible for them I’d imagine.

When they first came on board, AJ said this is their (Lawrence's) retirement plan. Maybe that has changed but that seemed to be the reason they first got involved. As well as both of them are doing I am sure a training facility or facilities dedicated to teaching the same style will be popular.

Prices seem pretty reasonable. $600/wk training, $100/day for a tiny cabin. Bikes are high to rent but most people bring their own.

Awesome to see what AJ has been able to build over the years with the Moto Academy.

We've known AJ since he was a Polini rider!

Just watched this video and think the 3 levels of supercross from beginner to pro is a fantastic idea and will help these kids push this sport even further with the ability to ride both disciplines at such a young age. Excited to see what the future brings. If only we had something like this in Australia that was not private I would have been in heaven as a kid 😂 congrats guys looking forward to seeing big things in the future!

I like the fact that there are Beginner and Intermediate Supercross tracks, so there's a way to learn Supercross without having to start out hucking 50 foot steep jumps with precision.

If that place was close, I'd sign up.
