Troy Widgery says that his Go Fast Sports and Beverage Company is more than just a business enterprise; he says it represents a lifestyle.
He began Go Fast in 1996. Troy Widgery had by then already demonstrated his skill in business. He had founded Sky Systems while he was still a student at the University of Colorado, and it quickly became the leading manufacturer of skydiving helmets and other accessories.
Go Fast Sports and Beverage Company, succeeded even more than Sky Systems, and Troy Widgery was able to pursue one of his childhood dreams. After seeing a jet pack demonstrated at a Go Fast event, Troy Widgery and a couple of his friends decided to build one of their own. The result was the Go Fast Jet Pack.
In 2007, the Go Fast Jet Pack and its pilot set a world record for a Jet Pack Flight from the center point of the Royal Gorge in Canyon City Colorado to the edge, a distance of about 1500 feet, soaring 1,153 feet above the canyon floor. The Go Fast Jet Pack has also astonished spectators at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, England, when its pilot flew the Olympic Torch on Day 46 of its route around the country. Later the Go Fast Jet Pack was flown in front of the world’s tallest building in Dubai.
Troy Widgery has always dreamed big, and the Go Fast Jet Pack is the biggest things he has managed so far. But he still has a lot of ideas, and Troy Widgery and the Go Fast lifestyle may come up with even more awe-inspiring ideas in the years ahead.
