    Skydiving in Tampa

    By liereport  |  Posted February 21, 2012  |  Tampa, Florida
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     At a stressful time in his life, liereport wanted to remind himself that he has pushed through fear before and he can do it again. So, he went skydiving. 'When you go skydiving you really feel how mortal we are - how fragile our bodies are,' he says. 'In that moment you are completely dependent on that parachute opening up. For me it opened up a more bold, braver part of myself I hadn't felt before.' Since then he has been skydiving a second time closer to his home in New York City. He would like to become a certified skydiver and do it with no assistance.
    - ssesha, CNN iReport producer

    Tampa may not seem like the wildest location. We usually think of beaches and relaxation - but jumping out of a plane thousands of feet above the ground becomes quite a rush. My first time skydiving in Tampa was eye-opening, and changed my outlook on life.
