Vans Wängl Tängl 2012

Vans Wängl Tängl 2012 presented by G-Shock March 17-24

2012 OPEN QUALIFICATION: SNOW

The 2012 Vans Wängl Tängl launches an all new open qualification format to create the heaviest gathering of shred crews on the continent at the notorious Vans Penken Park, customized for the event with the Red Bull End Section by Ästhetikers Steve Gruber and Vans Team Rider Wolle Nyvelt.

Previously the event has been “invite only” and the new format will open the event up to create a level playing field for the best crews in Europe to show up and gain notoriety at this legendary event.

Three person teams can register on a first come first served basis beginning the 1st of December 2011. The full details of registration and qualification will be available at wangltangl.com/ in the coming weeks.

The Main Mountain Event – The Tängl Team Tango!

The 16-team, head-to-head, knockout format Tängl Team main event is the highlight of the mountain based snowboard contest. Taking inspiration from our surfing brethren, no team is eliminated in the first round giving everyone a second chance to go for the 15,000 Euro (21,000 USD) total prize pool.

The event is and always will be, designed by riders for riders incorporating the unique “one team, one score” judging system.
