Troy Widgery founded Go Fast in 1996, and the company began selling a line of sports clothing. But Go Fast quickly expanded, and turned into something else: what its founder calls a way of life.
“Go Fast is an independent, authentic, lifestyle brand; in an industry full of corporate giants,” Troy Widgery says. “On any given day, you can find a member of the Go Fast Team skydiving, B.A.S.E. jumping, racing, cycling, snowboarding, and living The Go Fast Lifestyle! Go Fast is made for people who have a passion for living life on the edge.”
Before long, Go Fast was manufacturing and selling not only sports apparel, but the Go Fast energy drink and Go Fast energy gum. The company was doing very well, but Troy Widgery had a dream he had been nursing since childhood. 2003, after seeing a rocket belt flight at a Go Fast Event, he and a couple of friends decided to build a jet pack of their own.
That idea resulted in the Go Fast Jet Pack, a futuristic jet pack that is one of the best jet packs in existence today. Troy Widgery and has proven that his Go Fast Jet Pack works. It has amazed viewers on segments of Monday Night Football, Jimmy Kimmel Live, the Fox News channel, CNN, Good Morning America, and many other TV programs. The Go Fast Jet Pack was demonstrated in a flight in front of the world’s tallest building in Dubai, when it flew around an electronic billboard for about half a minute. It was demonstrated at the Summer Olympic Games in London in 2012, and has set a jet pack record when its pilot flew it across the Royal Gorge.
