Christine left teaching to become a freelance web designer.
#Freefall sangria free
After she started skydiving regularly, she wanted more free time that being a high school teacher didn’t exactly have to offer. Christine’s new-found passion gave birth to her newest baby, Freefall Sangria, Liquid Altitude. “Because our sport is so extreme, and we do lose people, it makes you realize how fragile life is, and how you really only have this moment, that’s why I skydive.”īut that’s not all she does. To this day, Christine has jumped over 3,000 times. On another jump, after Christine opened her parachute, she was able to fly through the sky beside an eagle.
Skydivers call this a “cloud rush” because it is the only moment you can tell how fast you’re actually falling. On her eighth jump, she jumped through a hole in a cloud. Some of the most beautiful experiences Christine has ever had were things you could only experience in the sky. “I felt a happiness that I’ve never truly felt before.” But when I started to jump years later, I found myself again, which as a dedicated mother, I had kind of lost”Ĭhristine hadn’t completely lost herself, she explained, but as someone who wanted to be there for her children wholeheartedly, there was a part of her that she locked away for a long time. I was a teacher, I was on the PTA, I was a soccer mom, a softball mom, a dance mom. “I was a teenager that made my mother grey and my father drunk, and then I met my husband, had three daughters, and became a mom. The little girl in her could touch the clouds and fly with birds. She said it was the first time she was able to be completely there in a moment, aware of everything going on around her. “it was the most life changing experience I ever had, I felt absolute joy and freedom.”Ĭhristine described her first-time skydiving as a completely freeing experience. Unfortunately for her friend, that was the first and last time she ever went skydiving, for Christine she never thought she’d jump more than once, but it changed everything. Christine was a high school English teacher when her and her friends made this decision one summer.
Christine Kelley and her friend decided they were going to go skydiving one summer night because they wanted to “do something crazy”.
