Troy Widgery has long believed that in order to enjoy life, an individual has to be willing to push beyond the boundaries of what is expected. He infused this belief into everything he did in life, including the Go Fast Company he founded in 1996. Few other companies can boast of the appetite for the extremes quite like Go Fast has, and Troy Widgery has set the company apart from the competition by venturing into new frontiers and setting records.
The ‘live life on the edge’ mantra has enabled the Go Fast Sports and Beverage Company set records in many aspects. For starters, the company has the Go Fast Jet Pack, which is a brainchild of Troy Widgery and his colleagues. In line with the founder’s love of extreme sports, the company has also broken records with the highest reverse bungee jump in history with the Go Fast Human Slingshot, as well as the world’s longest motorcycle ride through a blazing tunnel of fire. In 2007, the Go Fast Jet Pack set a world record in height and distance traveled from the center point of the Royal Gorge in Canyon City Colorado. To top it all off, Go Fast bears the unique distinction of being the first energy drink to be consumed in outer space.
Troy Widgery has only known one speed when approaching life and its challenges, and that is fast. He has earned the respect and admiration of members of the business community, and has continued to be the face of a growing legion of extreme lifestyle enthusiasts.
