Anyone have any updates from the Blue Buffalo team over the weekend? Was Sanner in attendance? How was their pit presence? How did the bikes look....was Sanner able to get them "looking" a bit better than years before?

I saw Chad Sanner a few times with the bike... I didn't get the chance to shoot it as the wheels were off one time when I swung by and other parts were off the second time. They were kind of placed in a weird spot next to Thor's hospitality and not on a main row I traveled often. Truck and awning area looked similar to last year, but I forgot to see if they had done anything different with displays and such.

I saw Chad in the tunnel and yelled at him but he didn't hear me, never saw the rig, don't know where it was.
Edit - didn't see it near Thor or yam pits either.

As ML pointed out, they were in a weird spot. They were placed at an end cap on the backside so unless you happened to be walking around to get to the other side of the aisle, you'd easily miss them. I talked with the rep for a good 5 min or so and he hooked me up with some dog treats and toys. I have a Springer Spaniel and avid dog lover so wanted to check out their product. They had a nice little set up going, but Sanner was practice when we stopped by.

Bike looks fine. They just need to give up on the handlebar deal. Never going to look right. Still reminds me of Prince riding that road bike around off road in that Purple Rain movie. That bike looked a bit heavy in the front, lol. Hey Mookie likes Prince. Do we have some legs here?

All the animals in our zoo eat Blue religiously now. And they are some picky eaters. Its nice to see a few of the bucks going toward this.

The bike's looks are much improved (still not a huge fan of the handguard plate though). I think AJ commented on IG or Facebook that he had two or three days on the bike going into A1. I talked to Kyle Cunningham for a few minutes, he'll be on their bike come East Coast. He said he tried the 250F and it seemed pretty good already but is currently riding a 450 until they get him a full-time 250F to ride.

I agree. That handlebar thing is just too much. The side panels don't look bad and I think it's better this year than last.

AJ was riding a random outdoor track in Menifee area right before A1 so I really doubt he had much time on bike like ML mentioned.

Good point. We call it the oversized speedway bike

The side panels continue to get trimmed down, and look much better. Do they really give the sponsors extra real estate, though? It seems like the only added exposure is the fairing, and that will never catch on.

It's the reason my dog still eats that brand.

Why go to all that work and not utilize the space...
