Are you triggered or what? Never said there were clear signs it wasn’t AJ’s or claimed to be clairvoyant. All I said was that the Woods family was clearly still involved, even back then. If you watched the video it looked like it was still operating as GPF. There were campers riding when they showed up man.. And with how much AJ mentioned changing things up I just thought it was pretty weird they wouldn’t be immediately shaping dirt. I know you’re just trying to be a dick but I wasn’t, so I still answered. Hope he finds another spot and makes it happen, as previously stated.

“i CaN rIdE aCrOsS tHe GrAsS bEcAuSe I oWn It NoW”... If you thought my tone was shitty that’s fine I couldn’t care less, I thought AJ’s was shitty in the video. My comment remains, unlike the embarrassing video. Imagine if your family cleared forest and spent 20+ years homesteading a ranch. This is no different. Then a POTENTIAL buyer rolls around the property with a film crew before closing date, talks about how little has changed there since he was a kid, how easily it could all be improved, calls it “mine” numerous times while your business is still clearly operational..Uploads the video to YouTube same day for whole internet to see and wonder what the hell’s going on.. Even if the deal would have went through, which I thought it already had at the time, that video was flat out disrespectful imo. Not much regard for the work it takes to clear all that land, build all those structures, utilities, irrigation, and then maintain it all while serving your customers day in day out. I feel for GPF’s reputation and the business partner more than I do AJ. If you feel otherwise that’s fine, won’t see me attacking you for it. That’s snowflake sh*t Smile

This is 100% correct. If he ever does get a place. He will quickly realize how much money it cost to maintain all the shit.

Don't forget also having to fight with the NIMBYs and the county to continue to exist (multiple times) and eventually swaying the entire community into thinking that having motocross training facilities in Cairo was a great revenue opportunity for the entire area.

When was the last time your hometown bank congratulated a motocross rider on a win with their video sign?  It happens all the time in Cairo these days.Screen Shot 2023-08-16 at 11.01.10 AM

I felt the exact same - Cantanzaro came across as a total d-bag in his video and these additional revelations only reinforce that.

He does a lot of great content but what he is trying to do here is a fundamentally different business, and Step 1 was a major fail.

Props to the Woods for protecting themselves, and forging ahead.

Maybe that’s why he didn’t man up and pay his end of the deal and fucked his partner?

So your saying AJ backed out because at the last minute he realized how much it cost to maintain track equipment?

It is possible the equipment was not part of the purchase agreement. AJ is not really up on those kind of big yellow things.

Has anyone confirmed that AJ was supposed to pay for the second half? Isn't it possible that he had two different investors, one that paid and one that backed out?

That seems unlikely. I bet there is going to be a lawsuit so you won't ever hear what really happened unless it goes to court. Usually these things get settled out of court and sealed up so you never hear the real story.

Pretty sure we know the real story. What we don't know is who said what to who leading up to it.

Bummer deal all around. It’s crazy how many deals are done without legal. Handshake investments. Just a shame. Wish everyone luck, not a fun position to lose money.

What makes you think there wasn’t a contract. We had a very detailed and thorough contract that left GPF protected. Unfortunately the partner is the one who really got screwed here but this story isn’t over yet!

I’ve always liked AJ and have been a subscriber but the silence is pretty damning. I’m pressing pause for now.

If AJ did not actually fuck over his partner he needs to come out and say that because continuing to be silent on this will hurt him and his brand far beyond me.  

I don’t think a “my bad” on instagram is gonna cover it.

If legal case it's best to keep your mouth shut, he doesn't owe vital an explanation. We still don't know the whole story, innocent until proven guilty, so let the courts work out the issues.

Maybe AJ screwed up.  We all do from time to time.

I don't get the impression that he's a bad dude.

I'm hoping whatever's going on, he can do what's right within his means, and move forward and have success.

The plans for that facility sounded really cool.

If it was in So Cal, I most likely would've spent some money there.

I'm hoping and praying for a good outcome for all involved.

All of this is crazy it seems.   If GPF wants to sell, why don't they just sell the place?   I inquired about purchasing it cash and got no response.

I would say with the cash infusion they got from this disaster they are good.

These days there’s a ton of money floating around, that’s not a crazy figure like it used to be even 10 years ago.

I was always surprised at the Lawrences involvement honestly, and that has nothing to do with AJ, it just seemed like the ROI on a business like that for riders of that calibre was not great, given how much time they gave to it. On the flip side, it did make me respect the Lawrences more seeing them turn up at those coaching days and helping out.

Who did you reach out to? Pretty sure you didn’t contact the right person.
