SO, HOW WAS YOUR SKYDIVE?

..."That was AWESOME! That was well worth doing. I am so glad I did this. I feel so great I can't believe it. Yeah - when I arched I felt totally in control. It was very smooth..."
-Gene Dupont

..."I had been skydiving once before about 10 years ago and I have to say that this experience was completely different and 100% better. Skydive Zion is a small operation, and by "small" I mean the guy that was strapped to our backs was the owner/operator of the company, owner of the plane, sole instructor (in Southern Utah), and videographer. Rick was great and we will definitely be going back to enjoy some more free fall with him in the future. Marla LOVED skydiving and I think she wants to go again sooner than later."
-Doug and Marla Long

"...and this year i went skydiving!! Talk about the best day ever!! The day started with a 45 min class teaching me the "arch" and the DL on everything that was going to happen. Then a 20 min plane ride up 11,ooo feet (i get butterflies just thinking about it!) We were free falling for about 40-45 seconds bringing us to the elevation of 5000 feet traveling at 120 MPH it was AWESOME!!"
-Carrie Welch

"...Well I survived another great jump from 11,000 feet and it was even more amazing than the first jump! My instructor makes us do everything ourselves the second time so we'll be ready to do it solo..."
-Carrie Welch

"...My experience at Skydive Zion was awesome. In 4 half days I went from my first tandem through AFF level VII and on the 5th day was jumping solo."
-Tom Stewart

"... I want you all to know that WE DID IT & IT WAS ABSOLUTE HEAVEN!For me, I never felt afraid at all; never had my stomach drop; it felt like the most natural thing in the world, which is soooo interesting. I did nothing but ENJOY & EXPERIENCE. It was PERFECT...ZION SKYDIVE is the BEST ... I'm officially hooked! You'll be hearing from me a lot more!Yesterday, I felt more LIKE a butterfly, than like a butterfly-to-be!.....you are right about Rick ... we couldn't have been in better hands! I cannot speak highly enough of him ... to anyone out there looking for their first or second or fifth experience ... Rick Eddy at Zion Skydive is truly someone you can have NO WORRIES about skydiving with! He's very safety conscious, as well as a FUN personality"
-Rachael Lindsey

"....and a feeling of total well-being washed over me in a way I haven't felt in a few years. Today was a real emotional boost and it is so totally cool to be able to see something I have always wanted to do coming to fruition. I am looking forward to a lot of future jumps with Skydive Zion and I hope to become your best recruiter! Everybody should have the opportunity to experience this totally awesome sport and to discover the true meaning of the phrase, "Now that was a rush!"
-Bob Warrick

..."That was over so fast - I can't believe that was more than 10 seconds. I could feel my cheeks blowing in the wind......"
_Mike Suter

..."WOW! What else can you say? I've jumped at Skydive Zion many times now and each time it is incredible! You can not describe the great feeling of being in the sky! And the location there in Southern Utah is breathtaking! It is amazing how there is great warm weather all year long. I can't wait for my next jump at Skydive Zion! "...
-Rick Eddy; Owner/Instructor
..."That was great! A lot easier than I expected. It wasn't scary at all! When can we go again?"
-Sara Trone
..."I have never been so scared in my life! When that door came open... OH! I kind of lost track of everything. It was OK - but I was so scared!"
-Cindy Swanson
..."I DID IT! Oh, it's wonderful! It was 10 times better than I ever dreamed. It was a soft landing.... In the words of my generation, it was FAR OUT! (My smile) won't leave me for days - I can't believe I did it!"...
-Peggy Sowers (First skydive at 70 years young!) (Peggy's story)
..."I just wanted to thank-you for making my mom's dreams come true! She had a wonderful time and is still talking about it. You were so kind and patient with her and we really appreciated it. She plans on coming back next year too."
-Tammy Sowers
..."I can't believe how easy the whole thing is. I can really see how the equipment has made such a large difference. It was easy to control, to fly the chute, and the landing.....Not at all what I expected - a lot more fun!"
-Todd Weaver
..."I'm telling ya, now that's something to talk about! You just go...and you are flying...and then the chute...oh man! And then... it's so quiet...and you see everything....I was doing turns and.....the opening kind of jerked me around - but I think my legs were hanging down or something - but it was fine - no problem, no problems at all!....MAN!...I want to do that again!...."
-Jim Leavitt
..."Oh My God!"
- most everyone!
..."Rick - You have the best job in the world....."
-Allen Crittenden

..."This is the wildest and the best thing I have ever done in my life!"...
