So I just thought of this earlier today while I was driving.  What if instead of a follow cam, someone did a lead cam?  ie filmer zero spins the jump with the person being film hitting it right afterwards.  It would be hard as hell for the filmer but might be interesting for a shot or two.  Has this been done before?

I think If someone can do a zero on one of those size jumps and keep there self that still with a camera I would rather watch the zero.
