Go Fast = better then Red Bull?

i noticed on here there are some people sponsored by Go Fast Sports. that's cool and all but nobody really knows anything about them.
A couple minutes ago i was watching Al Gore's TV station - CurrentTV - and saw a little piece on Go Fast Sports.



We've all heard of the jet pack and shit, but what caught me was his statement...
"the worlds most extreme brand"
after that i thought, damn, what a huge claim. have they really not heard of red bull? so what you have a jet pack and a catapult. Red bull has so much more extreme shit than that its not even funny.

As far as i can tell Go Fast Sports is basically the same as Red Bull but is really not even considered to be in the same market. what gives?

but instead use australian honey since that is what go fast uses to sweeten their drink.

What if they strapped on the jet pack and skied off a cliff, then turned on the jet pack and landed safely at the bottom of the cliff?????

Maybe you should watch the movie again.

But seriously, that jet pack was amazing. Can you imagine a 20 minute flight time with that thing!!? Mmm screw cars.

Go Fast is straight G... and it's only 75 cents over here.

Shit is mad good... You want to drink Red Bull Vodka but don't got the clash flow, definately your best bet.

your comment on how they thought they were the most extream brand stuck me.  I mean i think its true.  yah red bull has more money and what not but look they through there money into advertisements and sponsorships.  Thats not "extream", sure some of redbull athletes are pushing their sport but these guys are pushing a frontier.  Your like cool a jet park, whatever.  Thats fucking sick this company is putting there profits into something "extream" their creating a jet pack thats legit and no one else is doing that.  The whole energy drink thing seems like a side note.  fuck redbull, this company's the real deal.  and no i am in no way sponsored or affiliated with them nor is 4bi9.

my point was that a jetpack doesnt really justify being more extreme then red bull. red bull puts on contests and invents sports people have never even heard of. theyre both legit companies. i just feel red bell has more to offer.

yeah, but these guys are EXTREEEEEMEEEE
jet packs are obviously better than putting on events for our industry

no lie though, that's pretty awesome and I will agree that this stunt is way more red bull than anything red bull is putting on.

Go Fast Sports & Beverage Co. is authentic to its very beginning.

In 1992 Troy Widgery was on the World Class Competitive Skydiving Team, Airmoves, and the team was training for the U.S. Skydiving Championship. The team was on top of the world, with high expectations of winning the upcoming championship, when their skydiving plane crashed during a training session in California. Troy was one of a few survivors, and sixteen people died.

In 1996, and still "Going Fast", Troy continued his work with skydiving teams, and started the company "Go Fast Sports" to represent the lifestyle he and numerous sports enthusiasts live! Go Fast Sports focused on producing a line of t-shirts and accessories, and establishing dealerships around the world. For the next four years, Go Fast concentrated mainly on the skydiving market without expanding the market base.

Beginning in 2001, because of demand from consumers, Go Fast began entering into other sports-interest markets with phenomenal acceptance. These additional markets now include skiing, snowboarding, jet skiing, wakeboarding, triathlon, mountain biking, road cycling, auto racing, B.A.S.E. jumping, moto-x and many more. Everyone wants to Go Fast!

Click for larger imageWith the continued support of these consumers, and the interest of many athletes, Go Fast wanted to bring something new and exciting to their product line that would be appealing to their extreme-lifestyle enthusiasts, and would reach further into other markets as well.

An energy drink seemed to be the perfect fit, and Go Fast wanted to create a product with the best ingredients, taste and performance in the category. Thus Go Fast energy drink was created in conjunction with a team of specialists that created the perfect blend of ingredients, and Go Fast Sports & Beverage Co. grew into a new beginning.

Today, Go Fast remains dedicated to supporting people around the world who have a passion for living life a little on the edge - by creating brand-name apparel and products that speak to their audience's adventurous lifestyle and attitude.

i like go fast better, not to mention that it's cheaper. red bull's sweet cuz they have mondo loot and can pay people like t money to get high and be sweet. but i like the taste of go fast better plus its a colorado company ( at least thats what the rep told me) so its local so i support it.
