AJ's screw up in the Georgia facility deal is one thing, but this thread has become a place to shit on someone simply trying to make a living from MX training and social media.

It's unfortunate that the deal didn't work out, and it sucks that AJ didn't come up with his part of the money.

However, I thought the plans for the Georgia facility were pretty cool.

If someone sets up a legit Supercross training program around San Diego that includes beginner and Intermediate Supercross tracks so we can learn Supercross skills at our own pace, I'm in.

The Supercross track at Fox Raceway is way beyond my skill level, but I've found from the times I've had the opportunity, I love riding whoops, and would love to be able to ride Supercross rhythm sections.

I also thought it was entertaining to watch AJ's progression through the Supercross season last year.  He seemed honest about his abilities, and what went right/wrong each week.

Hopefully the Moto Academy is successful, and AJ makes things right for those who lost money in the Georgia deal.

Honest about his abilities? His "honesty" about his abilities has included the fact if he was able to train and practice he'd be as good as anybody.

Maybe I am being too judgmental, BUT the GPF debacle says a lot more about AJ as a human than his scripted and always self-serving YouTube videos and Instagram posts do.

This board doesn't tend to agree on much, so when the vast majority of people have the same opinion on something....I'd say it's more truth than "shitting" on someone.

You really think AJ is going to make things right about the GPF deal?? His PUBLIC statements about that whole thing make it clear he thinks he's the victim man. Not the other way around.

From the top:

He did pretty well in SX last year, all things considered, while teaching schools, etc...  If he were to go all in, in my opinion, he would be well within the top 10 every week, maybe better.  That's not as good as anybody, but making mains is pretty damn fast, especially when that isn't your full time gig.  Keep in mind, he also did pretty well in qualifying, so the speed and technique are there.  Also, if you're going to line up, your attitude should be that you're there to win.  Racing would be a lot more interesting.

We don't know all of the details on the GPF debacle.  I think what it says about AJ as a person is that he's better at motocross than business at this point in time.  I don't get the impression that he purposely burned people.  Bottom line is his funding didn't come through.  We don't know why, or if his confidence in it coming through was justified.

We know that he didn't come up with his funding.  We don't know details other than that, or if his reasoning for pulling out of the deal was valid.  What I know about myself, is that if a business venture doesn't work out, and people lose money, even if the failure was beyond my control, I don't forget, and look for opportunities to send them business, or include them in future endeavors.

You're right. I don't know what AJ will do to make this right, or his side of the story.

I just don't see evidence that he's a complete piece of garbage.  In all likelihood, he simply screwed up, in an area that's not his wheelhouse.

I hate to state the obvious, but your posts make it seem like you are in the circle...the damage has been done, your rose-colored perspective here isn't going to change anything.

Center of attention? Yes, for sure.  Egomaniac?  Nah.  If he was, I wouldn't expect him to give up as easily as he did 2 seasons ago, or the beginning of last.  He also admitted that racing so close to other racers scared him.  How can someone with a big ego admit something like that?

He seems pretty good at promotion, but PR is another matter.

For the record, I've never met, spoken to, chatted with, taken classes from, or communicated with AJ or his team in any way, nor subscribed to the Moto Academy.

Seems like a 2 parter to me: AJ bailed on the purchase, AND GPF won't refund the down payment. They spent the money, upped the purchase price, and pushed the Busa's out.

Maybe AJ has to be looped in with the Busa's because he was on the original contract?

The are form Michigan, and originally bought the place as a place to ride in the winter.  I would imagine under that LLC.

Likely created a new GPF LLC when they started selling memberships and bringing in "outsiders" to train.

Just my assumption based on the little I know about it.
