POWAY, CA- Stating that there's "Just no other way around it", local scooter rider Tyson Cox defends his stance that a minute long intro is absolutely necessary for his two-minute "Throwaway Edit".
This is in response to criticism from his friend Kyle who didn't get why there wasn't a trick landed until 1:03 in the video. Even though the video is an ambitious two-minutes in length, some might still think that a minute long intro might potentially take away from it, which Cox proves is certainly not the case.
Cox's video starts with a black screen displaying his Youtube account name (tcscootz02) with copyright free trap music playing, then suddenly fades to a black and white clip of Cox lying on the ground, while the song "Beast Mode" by Jake Miller starts to play (which to the best of our records, has never been used in a video before). The viewer is then treated to a riveting 46 seconds of falls, knuckle bumps, and even a shot of him waxing a ledge, which surprisingly was never even ridden in the video. As if he didn't already put in enough effort for this video, the intro also includes a slow motion shot of Cox putting on his helmet, which is later followed by another shot of him removing his helmet.
Tyson was kind enough to speak to us for a short time about his recent video, to which he said.
"Look I really wanted to take this throwaway video seriously, step up the game on it. In the end it was an artistic decision, there was a certain aesthetic I was going for which the intro played crucially into. If you're not on the same artistic wavelength as me you're just not going to get it, it'll go completely over your head. I knew all thirteen of my Youtube subscribers were expecting big things from me, and I'm confident I delivered."
