Inflate & Go^® combines Dr. David Groen’s 25 years of passion for track & field excellence and keeping athletes safe. A former Iowa State University track and field athlete and current day track coach, Groen puts his knowledge of the sport combined with product innovation to create and distribute Inflate & Go. Groen himself had been frustrated with the tedious assembly and tear down of traditional foam high jump pit. Seeing other inflatable pits fail, he leverages his new patented design of a flat surface inflatable apparatus that cushions the landing on a thin layer of foam and air.
