I believe that a balloon jump is the closest you can get to the feeling of a BASE jump as a skydiver. The balloon is completely still in the air, so you don't get the curvature of your exit path as when you exit a plane typically still moving around 100mph.
It was by far one of the most awesome experiences of my life, not just in skydiving. You can feel and hear the acceleration of your body before you hit terminal velocity. You gotta do it, it's not like any other type of skydive.
