We’re always fans of Loris Vergier’s outrageous French accent, but it gets even better when he’s simply making noises to “narrate” a mountain bike video. That’s exactly what he does with Santa Cruz’s latest release vid (for the brand-new Bullit e-mtb), and it’s pretty damn funny. Ever heard of a foley artist? It’s how Hollywood creates sound effects for the movies in post-production. For example, in Star Wars, sound designer and foley artist Ben Burtt says he created the famous TIE fighter sound by combining an elephant call with a car driving on wet pavement. Forget TIE fighters, Santa Cruz has their own acoustic genius in-house. They simply called up their favorite French rider to record some cah-cah-cahs and wappaaaaas. If you want more Loris sound effect action, check out this soundboard where you can have Loris on demand.
