I saw some videos on youtube of people sky diving, and it seemed awesome!

Has anyone tried?

I'd like to know how much it costs and how old you must be?

Well, you can't live in Denmark. Danes aren't allowed to sky dive.

Actually, I have no idea. Looks fun, but I'd be too scared to do it.

It's one thing I'd like to do in my life. I'm guessing it'll be rather expensive.

Never have, but I would absolutely love too. Once I grew the gonads to bungee jump only 300 some feet, I was hooked. Why not a few more hundred/thousand ;)

I'd like to try it but I can't do it because of the absence of this sevice in my locality.

lol, it's a typo... it's supposed to be sky diving... although there are people who jump off of a helicopter with skis and start skiing from the air :p

Sky Diving = Jumping out of a helicopter a few thousand(?) feet in the air. Freefalling for most of the journey, then opening Parachute.

Ski diving is essentially the same, but without a 'chute, over a snowy mountain and wearing skis.

Yes, compared to skis. No, we're not kidding you. :) Most likely the snowboarders you've passed don't know how to snowboard properly, or aren't trying to go fast :p
