Austria’s most creative collection of snowboarding, skateboarding, music and partying is back: The Wängl Tängl 2012 has started in Mayrhofen in the Tirol and this year, it's celebrating its 10th anniversary. The crew qualifications went down on Sunday.

Among the many snowboard contests held in the Alps, Wängl Tängl, organised by the Ästhetiker Crew, is the real thing. Spiritually, athletically and geographically it's on another level: located in the partyzones and playgrounds of Mayrhofen in the Zillertal, Tirol.

Combining an extensive snowboard jump jam with team competition on the mountain, a busy skate session in downtown Mayrhofen and international state-of-the-art music acts framing the sporting get together, the “Wängl” is a fixed point in the calendar for many of the most outrageous boarders and music lovers.

This year, first place qualifiers at the (10th Anniversary!) Wängl Tängl in Mayrhofen are Austrian bad boys “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.” Peter Sandner, Florian Trattner and Stephan Wimmer who took their three tickets to Tängl and cashed them in for the overall best team performance of the day, including best performance by an individual rider. Their cleanest run included backside 720’s clean and stylish frontside 360’s and overall coordination in the way they rode through the course.

The winds blew a few clouds through the valley, which kept the course in good condition with the help of the park crew who meticulously maintained each obstacle throughout the day.

Clever linguists, and stylish riders, the Cunning Stunts (Paul Dreher, Patrick Held and Philipp Frötscher) qualified in second place, with SPN Crew coming in third. The final team to join the invited Pro’s in the Tängl Team Contest will be Switzerland’s Natural Born Chillaz.

Standout moments from the day included the team manager’s team (You Are Fired!) of Sani Alibabic, Gary Greenshields & Jon Weaver getting more than just Instagram likes, with a frontside 720 from Gary and Sani showing his pipe skills with a Crippler.

The youngest team of the day, didn’t’ qualify, but they still turned heads with their style “The Boarder Boys” Tobi Grünwald, Daniel Kopp & Max Grünwald range in age from 10-16.
