When I went skydiving I expected to feel that sensation, but didn't at all.  It's gotta be something other than freefall, but whatever it is, it sure is fun!

No, you don't at all... (I'm an avid skydiver... )

-The reason being that when you first exit the plane, you are moving faster horizontally than you are vertically....When your vertical rate of speed overtakes your horizontal rate, guess what it's called....You guessed it, "Going down the hill!!"  The thing is, it happens gradual enough where you don't get that funny stomach feeling like going over a hill on a motorcycle which is much more sudden.....

-Sorry for the threadjack, but, ummmm yeah....that's why.........

We have a section of a local road that we call the "roller coaster". At the right speed, you get that sensation....a littlefaster, and you do a wheelie off the top......faster still, and you can get completely airborn....

If you go to this site...

...and go down to the sixth video with a caption of "Team Wicked" and this picture...



...you can see the video fo Jamie getting airborn (the guy in the picture).

Edit - The jump is around 1:05 on the timer.
