Profile “The Collective” – Jamie Nicholls (C) (GBR), Boris Bühler (SUI) and Tor Lundström (SWE)

Transform Gloves had to change their team due to injuries but they are back with some friends to call themselves "The Collective".

Boris Bühler (SUI)

Boris is a man of few words who let’s his riding do the talking. Sounds like a cliché but put him on a snowboard and watch him get loose. One of the most technically gifted riders on the gnarliest rails but equally at home on big booters in the park or in the back country. Winner of the Nike Stairset battle in Switzerland last season and frequently gets the ender part on the “Crap show” edits filmed in his Native resort of Laax. You are most likely to find Boris hitting the rail section o the Wangl tangl penken set up. Boris has just been awarded a place on 32, Transform Gloves and K2 Snowboards European teams.

Off the Wall by name, off the wall by nature, the 8th Official Tängl Team is packing all star punch and glamor to boot. Starting out with former Wängl Tängl pugilist and Team Off the Wall Captain, Iouri Podladtchikov, fresh off his Burton European Open and World Champion Halfpipe wins, I-Pod is quickly heading to the states to the US Open try and put the TTR World Snowboard Hapfpipe Tour Champion title under his belt before returning to the Vans Wängl Tängl to prove beyond doubt his snowboard skill are far greater than between two walls.

Joining him in Team Off the Wall, is the 2012 TTR Big Air Vice Champion, American Eric Willet, having US Open, Ante Up, Dew Tour Titles plus Gold at Europe X-Games and Silver at X-Games US under his belt not to mention 2nd placing at the O'Neill Evolution just after the new New Year. Eric has exploded on to the snowboard landscape over the past two season, considered by peers to be hands down one of the standouts world wide in the slopestyle format. You want it flat, corked, inverted or reversed, Eric has it all combined with a pop, stomp and style that makes the impossible look not only probable, but logical to boot. Show him a rail, and he will rail back - he simply kills every bump, hump or grind-able feature on the hill - a style which will thrust him into M.V.P territory, and is perfectly suited to the design of the multi-line Vans Penken Park set up.

: Rider: Eric Willett

Finishing up the team is one of Europe's most under rated rider, hailing from Les Deux Alps, France, a gentleman and a scholar, Sir Arthur Longo. Former winner of The Arctic Challenge Quarter Pipe, Pirate Movie Productions main protagonist and all round good guy, Arthur quietly treads where brave men dare not go. No stranger to Austria this season, Arthur spent a month on location in the Valley during filming with PMP during one of the biggest dumps and best conditions seen in Austria for over 20 years (Show du Longo - Click here). An all round rider, his pipe skills all but guarantee to see him destroy the all new design of the Red Bull End Section. Arthur is the quiet killer type, a man of few words and consummate style - he could see as a modern day D'Artagnan...

A team that has it all, and has nothing to prove... they are sure to turn heads and toast a jar of fermented kick arse all over the course...

Snowboard Tängl Team #9 - Official Confirmation - Since 1966

: Tyler Chorlton, Tobi Strauss & David Bertschinger Karg

Profile "Since 1966" - Tyler Chorlton (C) (UK), Tobi Strauss (GER) &

David Bertschinger Karg (SUI)

Is he Spanish, is he British or is he from planet 'Moustachio' - we are not sure, but what we do know is Captain of Team 1966, Tyler Chorlton, serves it up a serious main course and comes back for desert. His career mantle place boasts the three British Big Air Titles, a second place and Best Tick at the Wängl Tängl - almost the only event he religiously attends each year. He rides with two personal motto's, "All in, no tomorrow... " and "If you're not eating shit, you're not trying hard enough!" Tyler has both the experience, guile, determination and savy to guide his Team 1966 towards the top of the podium. Having been a major pillar in the Pirate Movie Production stables pulling down serious parts year in year out, Tyler has proven a strategist both on and off the mountain, launching 'Slidewayz' his own snowboard store at home in Andorra, and pulling together his own production company, 'What we Want Films'. Firm friends and regular riding partner of the Ästhetiker, Tyler and crew spent a couple of weeks in the valley in insane powder, and even better Après Ski... Flying in from Japan after being a month in powder, he is guaranteed to have the stoke and the legs to put pressure on any of the teams they are matched up against in the head-to-head knockout main event.

Tyler is teaming up with park specialist, rail ripper and backcountry protagonist, Tobi Strauss, who is taking a quick break from filming with Isenseven to test his wares in the Tängl Team Battle format. He is the consummate Dark Horse, hailing from Berchtesgaden, residing in Innsbruck while he combines riding and studying, which would leave most people's head spinning - but Tobi takes that to the park instead. Solid in the midfield with a steady head, an eye for lines and legs of steel, he is renown for breaking out of the back line and kicking goals. Tobi guarantees a little Bavarian skullduggery masked in Tyrolean charm doubling the trouble with a twin brother to boot. He's coming for the title, or for the ladies, or for both... we are not quite sure yet. What we are positive about is that he will have his eye on the ball!

Completing Team 1966, is the big man with the big heart, David Bertschinger, hailing out of Wädenswill on the outskirts of Zurich and coming through the impressive stables of the Hoch Ybig massive. DBK as he is affectionately known, is a park and party killer, all round rider and nice guy to boot. His personality is as big as his riding, pulling down 'Rock Star of the Year' at the Swiss Snowboard Awards in 2010 against stiff competition, DBK is rock solid ready to take it down and blow it up every second of the day - or night - your choice. Pulling down some of the most consistent and all round parts in the Isenseven production, his back door plan is to warm you up at the bar before dropping your pants in the park.

: Rider: David Bertschinger Karg

Team 1966 takes contest strategy to a whole new level, their main game plan seems to be to grind the opposition down with late and blurry, rum soaked nights. As Team Captain Tyler points out, "All in, no tomorrow..." At an event like the Wängl Tängl, it is such a cunning, cunning plan... it just might work!
