What if you had a double stage cliff and you had someone follow cam you off the cliffs, and you did tricks of the cliffs both ways.  It would be really hard to do, but it would look so cool.

I guess a follow cam off a cliff has not really happened before.  At least not that I know of.  I guess if I owned a camera, I wouldent be taking it off cliffs.

There's a couple follow cam shots off some small cliffs in some older movies, like Ski Movie 2 and 3 I believe, and some others around that time period.

Follow camming bigger cliffs though is tough cause you've really gotta have your shit together for that, and, more than likely on landing the cam is going to get BLASTED with snow, fucking up the 2nd shot.

i dont know if it was a big double set the camera man might be a little focused on landing and rideing away then filming but a smaller one might be easeir.but my freind had a idea of puttine a camera and filing it with padding and putting a camera in it and a hole it the front and strapping it to his chest and that worked ok but it was hard to keep the camera on the skier.but if u dident want to go to that trouble you could always get a helmet cam but idk.

Some companies are attaching cameras to their helmets for retail sale nowdays, you could always get shots like that

yeah for any decent size cliff it would be pretty hard to set up a cable cam, but not impossibel, and for a skier to folow them of would e pretty hard. maby one skier with a helmet cam could follow the other skier off.
