Recent Newspaper Article on Skydive Zion and Rick Eddy (Hurricane Valley Journal)

Rick Eddy specializes in novice instruction, and has trained and certified hundreds of licensed skydivers since 1984. He has experience with people who were hearing impaired, blind, quadraplegic, scared, in their 70's and 80's, his mother (a dozen skydives!), visitors who do not speak english, and many other wonderful and unique people! All these people have helped prove that skydiving is more of a mental challenge than a physical one, and that they are enjoying their lives!
