Do any decent skiers sell their follow cam services?

I feel like theres plenty of decent park skiers who are on vacation with their rich parents but their parents arent good enough to follow cam them over a 40 foot kicker. I always thought you could make a reasonable amount of money follow cam filming these rich vacationers and uploading your footage of them to their email in the case they dont have their own gopro for you to use.
Only issue i see is liability wise if some chad skier who sucks wipes out right in front of you on a follow cam jump and you land on top of him.
Fucking chads...
What say you ns?

if some kid offered to follow me in the park with an iphone/gopro and then asked for money i would probably tell them to kick rocks.
It doesnt take skill to be able to follow somebody through a park lane, you just have to suck up your knees when you hit knuckles, any intermediate skier could do it.


With that being said, @hotlapsofficial is killing the follow cam game in PC right now. Really dig his stuff.

you could make some money but is the time worth it? its best to just rent a gopro to them for the day and let them go edit the footage on their own later. Follow cam now takes time out of your day to do it. What would you value your time at? Is it worth it to follow jerrys all day or just rent them a gopro and go ski yourself and come back to profit?

Meh, you don't get how rich some of these vacationers are. They spend 800 a week on juniors 40 minute psychiatry sessions to build his self esteem. I think its reasonable daddy would pay a legit experienced follow cam pro to get great shots of juniors tricks so he can show his friends and girlfriends his montage to get his dick sucked to build his self esteem

I just had a pretty sweet fuckin idea.

What if there were webcams setup on each feature, and when entering the park you blip your pass so that your run is tracked, then at the end of the day go to their website, find your pics, and purchase the fullsize files if you dig em.

Kinda like epicmix, but instead of a photogs going around (do they still do that?) It is just webcams at the park

For my New Years trip I was literally standing at the drop in at A51 handing out cash to anyone who would film a run.

There has to be a few small companies out there that do this.

"Enjoy an epic trip to ________ resort. Make it something you can remember with our video package. Some 18 year old will follow you around filming all day"

I bet some dude could make this happen. Affiliated or not
