  1. That's great, airgirl! Boy, how I would LOVE to have a girlfriend who would get into this w/ me! There is no chance in hell, though, that anyone I know would do it. Not even my husband will consider it for some odd reason. The statistics I've shown him regarding tandem skydive and various other outdoor hobbies/activities WE'VE DONE ALREADY that are MUCH more dangerous aparently ... don't phase him. He says it's about not wanting to risk leaving the family in a "bad situation." (Meaning should something happen to him.) I don't know. I just don't want to go for it alone, but I WILL if I have to!! Congrats to the two of you as well, and ... happy jumping/flying
  2. Gary Peeks - I can't reply to your email, but I wanted to let you know that Rick was thrilled that you emailed me! He had wonderful things to say about you. Also ... 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
  3. Hi! I just jumped my 1st yesterday, and like you said ... I canNOT stop thinking about it. I find myself giggling out loud ... & realize I'm re-living the freefall. I can't stop re-living it. I too, am hooked for life, and only sad that I wasn't in a position to start this much sooner in life. I'm curious, where did you do your first jump? I'd like to find a place that will jump that late in the evening, as I have systemic lupus, which means my body hates the sunshineSo sad, because I do NOT hate the sun. Let me know, and CONGRATS!! Skydiving is BEAUTIFUL! ***********************************LAUGH ... and LIVE.
  4. I wanted to thank Gary Peeks, especially, for his email which made me feel 403% CONFIDENCE about my first jump w/ my oldest son! Thank you, Gary, so much. It was EXACTLY the kind of response I needed. To everyone else who responded ... I thank you as well! 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!
  5. I am jumping this Friday in Southern Utah over Zions Nat'l Park, along w/ my 18 year old son. We will have 1 hour instruction, and then we will jump w/ instructor. Life-long dream coming true; I've always known this day would come; finding myself MUCH more nervous than expected.Anyone who has jumped w/ instructors at Zion's please advise re experience. THANKS! ***********************************LAUGH ... and LIVE.
  6. Going on 1st skydive experience this week, over Zion's National Park in Southern Utah, along w/ my 18 year old son. It's been a dream my entire life, & I'm more nervous than I expected, but excited as well. Anyone who has done the tiny amount of training and then jumping w/ that group, please advise. THANKS! ***********************************LAUGH ... and LIVE.
