Christie Abercrombie is a former Hollywood stuntwoman, member of SAG and now, the mother of three boys. Christie grew up in Southern California, spending most of her free time in gyms and dance studios. Like most children, her interests evolved, and with each new thing she tried, she brought along the skills, proficiencies and experiences from previous endeavors.
Christie began taking dance lessons at age 4, and by 10 had become proficient in tap and classical ballet. When she started gymnastics, the classical ballet proved extremely useful -- propelling her almost immediately to the competitive team, where she won medals at state in 3 out of 4 events in her first year. Unfortunately, a growth spurt eliminated her ability to compete in a sport dominated by the most petite athletes.
Lucky for Christie, a trampoline coach recognized her talent and dilemma, and introduced her to the sport of Trampoline. Trampoline became her life. It was the thing she thought about on the way to school, after school, and in her dreams. In the way ballet helped her in gymnastics; gymnastics helped her in Trampoline.

As a 5-time member of the US World Trampoline Team, Christie traveled extensively representing the United States in dozens of Trampoline competitions throughout the world, becoming the first American to ever win the North American Cup. After graduating from Chapman University, Christie served on the Board of USA Gymnastics as an athlete representative.

Christie earned her Law Degree from Chapman Law School, and decided to pursue a career in the stunt business, where she met her husband. She appeared in numerous movies, commercials and TV shows.

After several years as a stuntwoman, the Screen Actor’s Guild went on an extended strike, so Christie decided to open a gym in Chatsworth, California. Christie's infectious enthusiasm, and years in the business, helped her recruit the best gymnasts and trampolinists as her teachers. The gym was immediately successful. Many a business owner might have stopped there, but Christie was an entrepreneur, and had a vision for something bigger and better.

Soon, she opened her second location in Valencia, California. Her new vision added many types of Dance, Karate, Early Child Development, Birthday Parties and a Retail Store, "Fairy and the Tramp." This second location, which became the largest "gym" for children in California, became the blueprint for 280Sports.

Never completely satisfied, Christie searched the nation for the best location for an even larger "Sports Activity Center for Kids of All Ages", and decided on Southlake, Texas. Today, 280Sports is the largest children’s activity center in the nation. Since Texas seems well suited to her bigger than life activity centers, she plans to develop several others.
