does anybody remember reading about a fight between Tony Alva and Tony Miorana?? I remember reading it Thrasher I believe
TONY vs TONY
That night there was another contest, this time at the bar. I wasn't there so I had to get the story second hand, but this is what I could gather from my sources. Tony Miorana, AKA Two Beer Tony, AKA Tony Moron-o, was heckling Tony Alva pretty hard. Pretty much in an effort to piss him off enough to fight him, or in this case just beat him up pretty good. I guess this went on for a while until Alva had heard enough shit talking about himself, his friends, and his former teammates. After tossing Miorana across several tables (all the while Miorana still talking it up), Alva punched Miorana in the face, knocking his two front teeth loose. I saw Miorana the next morning and although he didn't look too good he was claiming victory. Not too sure of what he meant, I asked him to explain. "You see, I remained calm. Alva was the one who lost control and started hitting me. Besides, do you win a fight if the other guy doesn't fight back?" I guess he had a point because when I went to Alva to get his side of the story he was still worked up about the whole thing.
At first I though that Miorana really blew it this time. Actually, he does something like this every time he drinks. But by the time Sunday rolled around, his actions tended to make a little more sense. See, nobody likes an ego, and Alva has the biggest one in skateboarding. Each night at the bar he was prancing around like he was the shit, and most people were going with it. "Yeah, the legend Tony Alva is here. We're partying with Alva!" He feeds off this shit big time: walking up to whatever girl he sees and trying to make out with her. Picking up whoever's drink he chooses for himself.
If he wasn't TA, someone would have knocked his teeth out.
