You can do what's called "Accelerated Freefall" - training
for doing freefall skydiving.  (I would still highly
recommend a tandem first, but hey.)  I think the complete
program is about 8 jumps worth.

You could also try Richmond Indiana, (about an hour west of
me) or Greene County Sport Parachuting in Xenia - about 20
minutes from here.  (Between my place and Ben's actually.) 
Brad wants to go do this as well, so keep me in the loop. 
I grew up at a DZ (Drop Zone - aka skydiving center) in
Michigan and was quite familiar with the sport 15 years
ago, but I've not been involved since.
