I really enjoy that roller coaster feeling both in real life, and in VR games like Jet Island and Windlands.

I'm pretty interested in this and would like to participate in a study as well if given the opportunity. I think one of the potential causes and solutions is it being a self-fulfilling prophecy that may be overcome with self-efficacy as described here [1] for seasickness. My only evidence is that I never knew motion sickness was a possibility when I first tried VR, and my friends with the worst motion sickness were worried about it before they even tried VR, even if they never got seasick or carsick.

From the article and other comments, they also mention figure skating which I never thought of before, and I play ice hockey which is likely similar enough. For reference I've been playing VR since 2016 and never once experienced motion sickness, from any style of game/locomotion.

Well I never got seasick on boats (large or small) and even took up windsurfing for a time. When I tried VR initially, naseau wasn't a widely known symptom (late 90s), but I got naseau anyway. So I don't think it's always psychosomatic.
