All good homie let’s get some training in at the academy and throw a couple beers back for the vlogs haha
That'd be sick
Butteryballz when are you going to be on Gypsy Tales? The Tfox podcast was dope but I’m dying to hear more moto talk.
thanks for being cool. Let’s make it happen
This is how a couple grown men handle stuff. Respect fellas.
buttery is the goat
Aj is the man. His mechanic wasn't at Orlando 1 this year, so he had to do his own bike working everything else between rides for the entire night, he still stopped what he was doing (without us even asking) to take a pic with my kids... if that ain't a great dude what is?
Back when I raced, we trashed talked a lot. No one got offended. It just didn't matter.
exactly.
Probably wasn’t a big ol giant internet back then. It’s so easy to spread messages nowadays.
This is what is wrong with people today, Instagram Facebook and Twitter letting it run there life’s
Amen to that bro.
I like buttery and I like A.J. Was a little sketch about him, but after this video I like A.J. Both buttery and A.J. Are good dudes
AJ is a class act and a kind person. Yes, he put his foot in his mouth. He is owning it as a mistake. Let's all move on.
But buttery does suck lol. Why does everyone have to apologize for everything even if they’re right?
@@xafbxmoto269 bc it was a rude statement. I’m sure you wouldn’t like it if people said you suck at riding. Buttery is way faster than your average rider
Who gives afuk if someone thinks someone sucks what are we 12🤦🏽♂️😂😂😂 🖕🏼 Buttery
But not until after GT gets to make a clip from his podcast talking about something from like 3 years ago.
He was talking about technique, not riding, some ppl have different techniques and are comfortable look at j-law elbows down and still won a championship.
If our lives where filmed like theirs are I’m sure we’d fuck up too
I wouldn't have any viewer's left after a few hrs.
Fucking Amen to that
That’s a perfect point!
It's their own choice to get filmed
This is a genuine guy….. someone we need……..actually owns up to his mistakes even when it’s not truely his fault
i’m definitely one of the people who didn’t like him for a long time (i never publicly hated on him) but this has gotten me wanting to watch some of his videos again, thanks for being real bro
Boy if i had a dollar every time i stuck my foot on my mounth i would be rich lol.
Damn rich and flexible.
But you would have trouble sticking your foot in this kids mouth I mean look at them teeth.
AJ is one of nicest dudes in the scene man. Love his passion for the sport
I remember being pissed at him for saying that. Then he rode like a goon at straight rhythm and it was all good lol.
Why? Buttery does suck
Get a clue.
goat comment
@@hsachristian Connor sucks, let's watch the sun go down 😘
That doesn’t surprise me about Webb
Webb is goat
Reply I’ve been watching for a year
@@tylerblackburn3533 webb is Goat? What are you Smoking?
@@tylerblackburn3533 Have you ever heard of the number 4?
@@xafbxmoto269 thank you for remembering the best to ever do it I totally agree with you!
I've talked to AJ via patreon and he's a good guy. He doesn't come off as a dick at all. Super nice
I always thought he was homosexual lol. Always sensed super feminine vibes in his mannerisms and body language... But I guess he is married. 😂
Crazy to me that theres people that actually truly got upset by a simple comment he said, like are we in kindergarten or what?
Generation pussy dude,no dought about it.if you're that butt hurt over words solve it like men fist fight, shake hands after.better then having fan girls fight your battles...once again if it's THAT big of a deal to you.
Dont you love social media!
Unreal, kids and their feelings.
The he said she said crap on social media these days just encourages people to act like there 15 again or something!
Really dig the gypsy content ❤
I will say it for AJ... Buttery can send it, yes, but his riding technique is not anything close to a proper racing technique. Open yours ears a bit and learn how to comprehend the conversation or dont comment! Be offended 🤣🤣
The Irony about MX/BMX drama - obviously it's tribal. So sometimes shit talking is not accepted... But the irony is both sides practice shit talking... It's just not always made public.
The Buttery crew and fanboys got butt hurt and retaliated.
The irony is that; both of the buttery crew and the fanboys are no angels.... Since when do Moto people not talk shit? It's all a part of the fun. Sticks N Stones remember? Don't be little boys who cry as they rage on their keyboard
It’s a new generation. They hear one bad thing about a guy that just rides his dirtbike and they lose their minds
Most of the followers on social media are less than 17 years old. You said it right . FanBOYS got hurt lol.
The 909 crew get into fights at pit bike races. Lmfao.
Not a lot of geniuses in that crew.
This was a much needed video!
Thankyou gypsy tales, THIS NEEDED TO BE DONE!
I absolutely love AN’s honesty and humility not just in this video but every video he has posted or been a guest on
Don't sweat it. That's how it is nowadays, people will find a way to manipulate anything and everything you say to make it as bad as possible. Do what you can to be a good person and don't let the trolls get a hold of you. And if someone wants to react without hearing the full story, then that's on THEM.
AJ is awesome, if he’s ever in Temecula I’d love to hang out!
Hilarious! From a 55yo dude who still doesn’t know anything and still doesn’t have a filter. Everyone is an idiot. Just keep riding. Who cares.
That is wild! I remember when I first heard about this I thought "AJ is whack and just jealous of Buttery." BUT I'm glad you got to share your backstory cause I now understand why you would say those things and it wasn't out of ill-intent.
I didn't take it that way. He was trying to be a teacher and using examples of good and bad technique using the wrongs words and being insensitive. His apology and explanation sync with what I remember.
Speaking how you feel is never a bad thing. It might be just you who feels that way but it's not false statements, It's your answers and feelings.
Lmao “is his name not out ?”
AJ is an awesome dude! I've met him several times and even told me to slow down on my bike so I could get a chance to improve...but only after me insulting myself in front of him which seemed to piss him off. Why would anyone have a problem with AJ...even if it was out of malice, he still is human and will slip up every now and then.
Love or hate either of these guys, you gotta give it up to them as they both create very entertaining content whether its AJ's priceless advice or Butterys antics, it reflects who they are and true to themselves. Personally I enjoy watching both and never miss an episode.
I like Buttery and his content a lot. Appreciate AJ seeing the light and what Buttery's whole movement is about. He doesn't claim to be anything other than a dude riding his bike for fun and having a good time with his buddies.
Buttery is cool. And he’s just that, a guy that has fun riding. He knows he’s not the man, he’s not trying to be. So for a pro that really is the bottom tier to essentially discourage him is pretty douchey.
@@seaeff6428 I mean, the guy is a riding coach and considered one of the 20 best riders in the world at any given time. Saying he’s bottom level when he races at the top level is just ignorant. Saying buttery sucks on a dirtbike isn’t douchie. People have their opinions. Just because you idolize a guy that does dumb things all the time. Doesn’t mean you should put down a guy that dedicated his entire life to learning how to ride a dirtbike the best way he could.
@@dirkhagoort4949 he’s considered one the best 20 riders? By who? You? Lap times say different. Between 250 and 450 he’s not even top 40. He hasn’t come close to a making a main this year.
He’s jealous buttery is making 10x what he does and is just having fun. Kids can emulate whoever they want to. Is buttery the perfect example if they’re planning on being the next Ken roczen? No. But it’s also not detrimental either. The shit he said was completely unwarranted and a dick move for no reason.
How would he feel if Ken Roczen said don’t get coaching from him he sucks, he’s terrible on a bike.
@@seaeff6428 exactly. Said everything I wanted to say. Pretty shitty to cut someone down just for simply having fun.
@@dirkhagoort4949 I don’t idolize buttery. And it is douchey. Because realistically at the pro level AJ is trash. He hasn’t made a main event since 2019 and even then got last place in one main he made. It’s a dick move to just talk shit on a guy for no reason, flat saying he’s terrible and sucks.
I really can’t get over the fact that you said he’s too 20 in the world at any given time. Weird because he never comes close to making mains. Is 30th or worse in timed qualifying 1/2 the 250 field would smoke him. Top 20 guys in Europe are faster. I guess you could say he’s a top 100 guy? Maybe.
Fact is cooper Webb and plessinger both stared how dumb AJ is. So I’ll side with the guys that aren’t getting 13th in LCQs
Good on ya AJ. Once again proving us how good of a ambassador and union rep you’d be
I’m 44 and I was stupid 2 days ago!!! Let’s move on or take to the track for some laps.
Me too and me too! 44 and still learning! 😀
I know AJ would love to ride with Buttery he is doing what we did 40 years ago been riding dirt bikes in SC since 80s AJ is plain nice guy cares about riders. He and buttery would be a fun day.
As much as it kills me to admit fault I was super against all your content for a good bit.. But you've landed some big-name dudes I would say to approve of you and it's good to see the things they have to say. Mad Respect. Keep it Up Aussie Man. Youre Alright 🤙
Cheers g
Against it for what??? he literally just interviews people... that just means ur a jealous hater...
@@smokemboe1876jealous of what? 😂 gtfo
@@Blinkman24 why would you be against his content???
“ I’m still getting people commenting get a clue” LMAO!!! Legit crying laughing
What AJ said wasn‘t cool, but Buttery isn‘t the "best" guy too, because he could ask AJ why he said that...
And not giving straight backfire over social media...
I never knew about the Buttery incident but I always thought AJ was a cool guy and I have watched a ton of his videos on technique. Still think AJ and Buttery both are awesome and look forward to more content from both!
This is so cool! Would love to see some vids with buttery, he's such a great guy
Hell yeah boyz. This is a sport of coming together and saying what all that serious shit and let’s have a good time and enjoy ourselves, friends, moto Comrades!!! Life is way to short!!! Amen. So glad you guys got this squashed. So stoked. Hell yeah.
Im gonna take a wild guess and say more than half of butterys followers dont even ride. All those mean comments were most likely from kids. At least i would hope so
You really dropped the ball with that shirt !
I have so much respect for people who can own up to and take responsibility for their mistakes instead of making excuses. Kudos AJ.
The video we all been waiting to see 🤣
O was 1 of the 4 persons who always listening the podcast! .. 😁
I was
I don’t think AJ comes off as a dick or know it all or anything to that sort. BUT what I think people may misinterpret is a guy that has 100% confidence in what he’s doing. Your training sessions are obviously going great and I see more and more of them getting closer to where I live in Louisiana, hopefully I can get in one that is in the works for you to do at our local track!
I’ve been right there, verbal diarrhea... I’ve said things that just came out wrong, nothing like it should have meant, and people just don’t want to hear an explanation afterwards. You just gotta kinda own it and be like “I said it, “I apologize, what I said came out wrong”, and then just be careful to not do it later. I’m an AJ fan, he is a hell of a rider, and I wish there were guys like him when I was younger that was so willing to work with the youth because I never got that help. Ultimately, I’m 36 now and I just trail ride dirt bikes because I don’t feel like my body could handle big crashes to get good enough to race competitively... though I want to. I do however push quads a little harder and I feel like I could probably go that route in 4 wheels.
3 years later he got the clue 😂😂 wtg aj bro 🤘🤘
I thoroughly enjoy AJ's youtube content and learned from it as well. I like how genuine he is and he seems like a good person in general. I hope this is taken for the apology and regret for an accidental dumb comment it is and people move past it. And pigs may fly.
I love his humility
That’s a trait of a leader he owned it and rather than posting a retaliatory response he should have contacted the source
Going to see if I can rent 2 125's at the badlands in Illinois with my son and grandson, 3 generations riding together
Dang Gypsy is rad he came out swinging with the truth, never heard of this guy then boom this year I see him everywhere and am like damn… homie is legit. Foreal
Pro's talk about AA riders, AA riders talk about B riders, B riders talk smack about C riders C riders piss on trail riders, The way it has always been and the Hatter's take up arms for who they decide to get behind. I wouldn't sweat it it's part of the way it is and weather you can handle is and turn it into Bench racing or let it eat you up. I've had many of my AA/Pro friends call me a sandbagger and we laugh it off as I ran a business and couldn't hang it out like full timers could.
When is the new channel going to post full podcasts? There's a reason rogan made Spotify put up video option. Multiple times you will be talking about something the audience can't see if it's only audio format.
Gypsy out here making friendships happen lol
❤️❤️❤️
Glad y’all got that done...one thing to remember on any social media...anything u say can and will be used against u...
I’m more fascinated at the fact that nobody knows Buttery’s real name lol
Im pretty sure ive heard him be called Connor in a vid or two of his
Not 100% certain, but pretty sure
@@aidenmoore8671 It's Connor Ericsson, I think any of his platforms show it
@@cameronabrams3285 yeah ok cheers, i thought id heard it in a vid in the past
Bout time this shizzz got cleared up 🤣🤣🤣
Really when I heard what he said about Buttery I would not even watch AJ videos because of that... I'm over it now...
Everybody has the right to their own opinion.
Repenting and saying sorry is all some mad respect
I think AJ was jealous of Buttery's success and talked some crap. It happens as people who are super competitive tend to do that. AJ apologized cause he knew he crossed the line. All is good imo
But you have to admit theres a reason why buttery is not racing supercross😂 buttrey has madskill front break control and style points for days buuut can he even hang with aj for a lap😂 big buttrey fan from back in 2014 and im in aus🤙🏼
@@matthewwest1262 buttery doesn’t claim to be a racer lol what’s your point. At what point did buttery ever talk shit on him? AJ mad that buttery makes a shit ton more money that him selling merch and having a goofy TH-cam channel.
Im 50 AJ is a very intelligent young man. And a great rider. much better then most!
AJ seems a nice down to earth guy, we all drop the ball at some point in life, just pick it up an keep going, that’s what counts
Do not let negative comments bother you. Do not. Period. So many you tubers are bothered by what is part and parcel of the medium. We love ya buddy.
yeah people will take some really weird shots at people in the comments here lol
luv the sloppy, is Vince back in business?
So sad to see you leave racing,you will great in everything you do. Love you
self evaluation = wisdom
aj is the man sounds like a top bloke and a chill dude
this is a wonderful opportunity , you should contact buttery to do a video together, show different sides of moto, you give him some coaching, he takes you on a 110 adventure or something like that, people would love it and you'd both come off great
LOL...I'm subscribed to AJ's channel. Earlier today I watched a Buttery video, some beach party somewhere, and my thoughts were how little I like Buttery videos. I do wish I could ride even half as well as him though.
Seth enslows "technique" isn't something to emulate but that didn't stop all of us growing up watching and emulating. Should have never even brought this up. Not a big fan of a know it all guy that can't even make a main.
I’m glad he touched on this, I like him but couldn’t due to that incident. I’m glad he told his side.
AJ seems stuck up and arrogant in my eyes. I like him but he needs to treat people a bit nicer. Only reason he's apologizing is due to Buttery's following or he wouldn't give 2 shits
Jealousy
😂😂😂 AJ you killed me on this one
I'd kill for that Rat shirt for real !
Who do I have to kill to get one ?? LOL !!
Gotheratracing.com and you don’t have to kill anyone lol
Honestly, you are 100% correct. Maybe not sucks but he is not a high level rider of any sort.
I would like to see A.J. run the Kicker ArenaCross series. My last race was @ Loretta Lynn's in 1998 (125 B mod)
I am 40 now but would like to get back into some racing in the Vet class.
I think buttery shouldn't have retaliated like that hat bc he knew they would crucify him. Oh well may lead to a video collaboration in the end.
If you saw the post he didn’t take shots at aj he just defended himself, he also didn’t tell his fans to go after aj, he responded fairly professionally
@@destrycook24 Oh, no I didn't see it.
Get a Clue!
What kind of chair is AJ in?
What is "buttery's" name anyway?
AJ, as long as you keep making mains we all will continue to follow you and cheer for you!
Has he ever?
@@HomemadeC4 I don't know for sure, thought he has. Could be wrong?
What's up bro it's all good Homie 😎☝️👏👏 Balmain Paris 👏⚡⚡
Got bullied by the internet, trynna save face. Listening to this dude “explain himself” made my ears bleed 🤣
Go take a nap. The men are talking.
@@KarlOtterman your so cool 🤘🏽
Did he really bring a cardboard cut out of himself lol
Bro was this really 3 years ago? I thought it was just last year?!
My story. Daytona SX 2022. Subscribed to his channel. Subscribed to Moto Academy. Bought merch. So I was a fan. I felt what he's doing is good. Still do. But on this day as a fan I went to his booth and asked him to sign a AJ t-shirt. He looked at me like I was being weird. Asked if it was already signed. I said it has a printed signature. But not an actual signature. I honestly thought he'd be cool about it. I didn't really think too much about it. But after asking for his autograph and him subsequently asking if it was already singed. I honestly didn't know what I should have said. Neither did he ironically. We both stared at each other awkwardly. I then realized he wasn't going to sign the t-shirt. Til this I'll never quite understand what happened there. But I shut off all of it. Unsubscribed from it all. Which I know did nothing in the grand scheme of things. But that's not the point. From my point of view it was a very simple request. Didn't make sense at all to me in any dimension that signing a merch shirt would be an odd or rude request. I'm sure AJ is good dude. But that just made zero sense.
I've never even heard of AJ Catanzaro until now. Maybe I've been living under a rock. I've been into motocross/supercross since around 1996. I run #96 on my bike, long before Axell Hodges or Hunter Lawrence. But I digress. I'm pretty selective about how much I let this sport and lifestyle consume my life. Maybe that's why I've never heard of him. I do a lot of other things, snowboarding, surfing, golf, etc. Anyway, my point is that AJ is certainly not the who's who of the sport. My feeling is if I've never heard of you, you're a nobody, essentially. That being said, AJ makes a solid point about what kind of riding style the youngsters should emulate, and it's not anything you see on Buttery Films, except maybe Politelli. That being said, I'm a subscriber to Buttery. They make really entertaining content and there's something very genuine and real about it. Plus I'm from SoCal so they're just personalities that I vibe with. Here's the thing, when people have too little going on in their lives that's anything good, there's a level of irritability and discontent that builds up over time, and then trolling others on social media is something a lot of these people do to get their frustrations out. It's honestly pussy shit and these people need to get their shit together and grow up and focus on themselves. Microphone drop. Peace I'm out.
Be careful pal. Not me but others will say don't start the sentence by saying you didn't give a s*** you're on somebody's brand new podcast because you were making eggs. And by the way I said some s*** about somebody else. You know I'm saying
Don't be sorry. Your speaking facts. Kids these days get offended by anything.
Does Buttery have a sister? Margerine?
😂
So in an "unguarded" mindset, true feelings and nature were exposed. That's the "problem" with a carefully crafted image, all it takes is one moment of reality to burn down the PR you've spent so long cultivating.
Kind of amazing how every great rider is just so damn intelligent.
Good on you AJ for admitting you were wrong!
I think we all know Conner doesn’t suck. 😀 Chillest guy on YT too! You’d be a better human if you tried to emulate him AJ. 🙂
Have you met either of them?
This is so true no kid should be looking up to buttery
Hounstly the best moto show out ..
Tapping in from southern Illinois. Usa...
Damn, so basically how he describes himself is how I actually feel about him? At least he knows 😂 I like him more after the video though lol
AJ is a great man, competitor and teacher
