My name is Ryan Cena.

When I was 20 years old, my friend introduced me to rock climbing and slacklining. We would go to the local climbing gym in San Diego and slackline in the park in between classes or on the weekends when we had time. At first, they were just activities that I enjoyed doing. But then I saw the video, "Falling to Fly", and it changed my life.

Dean Potter would slackline across huge chasms in Yosemite Valley and rock climb with a parachute on his back so that he could transform falling off of a cliff to flying with the birds before pulling his parachute. I was inspired beyond words and began to live and breathe climbing and slacklining. Eventually, I made it to Yosemite Valley and was able to walk the same lines that I had seen Dean walk so many years earlier. I truly feel alive when I am exposed, scared, and surrounded by beauty. I continue to pursue these passions along with the addition of skydiving. 

I have come to realize that life is like a dream. You can do anything that you want to do. I want to share my experience with you as I take steps into the unknown, with the hope that you too will give yourself a chance at the life you've always dreamed of.
