i did my first jump about 2 months ago now. it was a tandem. the experiance was breathtaking, the funny thing was i wasnt even apprehensive. but then again its hard to be apprehensive when all u can think about is "dammit i should have done that piss before i got on the plane" hehe. luckly i managed to wait until after i landed. about the rollercoaster experiance tho. i didnt get that at all, i thought i would, and expected it to happen but was presenty suprised. the thrill is fantastic, and whats funny is that the still photo's are all exactly the same, me with my mouth open hehe, i looked like a fish!. anyways im doing it static line next year at the start of the summer. !u should really do it! it rocks! i started working to help fund it!.... if you have any doubts about the sport then do a tandem, it really clears stuff up.
