About the Sport - The primary use of a Go-Ped is for personal transportation; however, there will always be a select few that feel the need to push the limits. Go-Pedding is like a combination of skateboarding and BMX with the addition of a motor. It started out with friends jumping off curbs, jumping off stairs, to hitting up closed BMX tracks and skate parks, gradually evolving into the realm of modern extreme sports. Now there are the IGPA races (International Go-Ped Association), a series in which Go-Peds® are raced on a course similar to BMX or miniature motocross. The riders reach speeds of up to 40 mph and the Pros jump up to 25 feet in distance, side by side with up to twelve riders at a time! There are riders traveling around the world putting on exhibitions entertaining large audiences. Without surprise, extreme venues such as the Planet X Games in Australia, the CorExtreme Summer Games in Japan, and the Core Tour in the US have taken notice of what has been progressing since 1985.
