The DVD Bike Trials: Regaining Balance was released a few days ago on the web.
As promised here is one of the extra features on the DVD: Bonus Riding.
This video was created by the talented director Sheldon Pearson and stars riders Dylan Korba, Jeff Anderson, Steve Dickin, and Ryan Lynne.
In the first scene it is actually Ryan in the background making the "Kung Fu exclamations" as Sheldon calls them.
It is interesting to ponder why at points of intense riding riders do make those sounds.
Tennis players do it as well, but has it really been proven that making those sounds give the athlete more power in intense action?
The only reason that I can think of is that it might create the proper pressure in the lungs for that power move.
But perhaps it is not physical only psychological.
The image on the DVD itself is pretty cool. Check it out below.
