Blue Buffalo is the perfect fit to capitalize on this market where the majority of fans and enthusiasts are pet owners." - John Slater (SPR International)

“A#er a very successful start to the 2015 250 West Supercross season, we are excited for the start of the East series and the debut of the Blue Buffalo/Slater Skins Yamaha team. Having worked with John Slater and Slater Skins in the past, and with the backing from a company like Blue Buffalo, we’re confident of a solid program and look forward to some promising results.” - Mike Guerra (Racing Dept.

The Blue Buffalo Company of Wilton, Connecticut, is a family business that makes natural dog food and treats, and natural cat food under the BLUE brand. Founded by The Bishop Family, the Blue Buffalo Company was conceived after their beloved Airedale, Blue, contracted cancer. Wanting to provide a food that would include only the finest natural ingredients, they consulted leading experts in canine and feline nutrition, and the Blue Buffalo brand was created. Petsmart sells Blue Buffalo, but so do Petco, Klems, Kahoots, and many other large pet food retailers. Visit www.bluebuffalo.com/contact/ or www.facebook.com/BlueBuffaloAllNaturalPetFood and share your support throughout the entire 2015 AMA Supercross and AMA Pro Motocross series!

SRP International has been operating for over fifteen years in Shelton, CT and has a reputation for high quality innovation. Over the past decade, the motocross industry has grown, gaining exposure to a wider audience. Likewise, the demand for our products and services has increased and the time is right to bring SRP International to the next level. SRP was incorporated in 1995. John Slater is the founder and CEO, and has a deep knowledge of the Motocross industry as a sports enthusiast, professional competitor, sports promoter, and plastics manufacture. After a successful debut at the 2014 Unadilla National the team grew into a full assault on the 2015 250 East Championship chase thanks to the effort of SRP's Marketing Director, Tyler King and Blue Buffalo. Tyler King is a former AMA professional racer and FMX (Freestyle Moto-X) pioneer who is well known for his forward thinking innovation and internet marketing prowess. Michael "Rock" Rigdon is the team's Media Relations/Technical Support Manager. SRP International, Inc.’s mission is to provide an opportunity for major corporate sponsors to reach a desirable new market segment. This is achieved through advertising via their “Slater Skins” product and selling corporate sponsorships, targeting the growing and lucrative extreme sports market.
