SNOW - Quali team #4 Real Family
Hailing out of Carinthia bordering Slovenia in South East Austria, the Real Family formed as a crew no more than a couple of years ago, totally focused on the core values of snowboarding: the sport, friendship and party. After about a year, they thought they had what it took to be taken seriously with the other big crews out there that they had grown up watching and respected. That decision lead them to pull out an old Hi-8 Camera and start shooting all of their trips to different locations resulting in the production of their first crew video.
Much to their surprise, not only did it turn out well, there were even people who liked it. Liked it enough at least for them to continue working on new productions each year where both the riding and the production improved. As the popularity of facebook exploded they jumped at the opportunity of making a Real Family fan page that took the idea to another level, creating a chance to become known and seeing the Family grow at the same time.
Today the real family has Pro Riders, some sponsored kids, and almost as importantly a bunch of non-sponsored buddies. True to the core, the Real Family is all about the fun, not the business.

SNOW - Quali team #3 Natural Born Chillaz
The Naturalbornchillaz crew, in short NBC, are based in a small Swiss resort called Hoch Ybrig and are charging the backcountry and streets for over 12 years. Since the resort is relatively small, there is no way that riders can’t notice each other. Since the terrain is full of bumps and windlips it didn’t take long for a small scene of freestyle enthusiasts to evolve. Many crews came and left, but the NBC crew is like a big family, a bond that can never be broken.
Around the year 2000, the NBC crew started running their own park making some of the members professional diggers during winter. In Switzerland, the NBC crew is well known for organizing unique events such as the SNOW JAHZEE or NBC TRAININGDAYS, not to mention all the epic festivities.
Three of the top NBC riders, Roger Schuler, Deniz Cinek and Mike Knobel were chosen to represent the NBC family.

SNOW - Confirmed team #4 The Italian Connection
Last year, due to impending weather about to hit Mayrhofen and in the spirit of the “It’s On when it’s On (only it’s on a day earlier than we expected!)” ethos of the event, all crews were informed we intended to start the event a day earlier. Then, as now, captain of The Italian Connection, Stefano Munari. put out the battle cry, only to find a couple of his team were stuck without transport and therefore were unable to make it. Fortunately this year, Stefano does not have that problem as of “The Italian Connection” is powered by the FIAT Freestyle Team guarantees. So the transport will not be an issue!
Just like in the Football World Cup, “The Italian Connection” squad combines a talented, power and style in a balanced team. With Captain Stefano controlling play in the midfield, he can draw from the experience and sublime skills of Fillippo Kratter, with power striker, rookie Marco Grigis always unpredictable and dangerous. It is the sort of team that has it all, which looks dangerous on paper and always surprises come match day. One thing is for sure, they are backing their formidable offense to make their way through the knock-out stages!
The perfect team for the perfect set up? We will have to wait to find out, but when you look at the Vans Wängl Tängl set up for 2012 and see the all new design for the Red Bull End Section, the combination of pipe, park, rail and backcountry skills may well see the FIAT Freestyle Team of “The Italian Connection” driving home in their usual style, with a wad of cash and more importantly their first Tängl Title trophy…

SNOW - Quali team #2 Boarders Valley
All of the Boarders Valley Tängl Team guys grew up in the Engadine (Boarders Valley) where they shred most of the time. They apply the name «Boarders Valley» from the valley legends such as Gian Paul Schmidt, Michi Albin, Dani Sappa and Reto Lamm. Today they organize events in the valley, go shred togheter in every kind of terrain and make some short edits. The only thing what counts for them is having fun on the mountain. So Corsin, Luca and Men will represent the Team Boarders Valley at Wängl Tängl 2012. The crew wish the Wängl Teams would be bigger so we could bring the whole crew to Mayrhofen. (editor’s note: Nevertheless bring the whole crew to party and to cheer for you!)
Facts:
In 2007 lead on the name Boarders Valley.
In 2009 they had the new crew togheter and started to organize events.
Tängl Boarders Valley Team members:
Luca likes to ride all kind of terrain, but most of the time he is riding the park he is building in St. Moritz. At night he is going shooting on the streets. Unfortunately the experience in powder is not that big yet.
Men is also most of the time in the park and at night at streets shootings. Powder riding is coming up soon.
Corsin, the oldest shredder of the boarders valley wängl team and also captain of the team started snowboarding with riding park and competitions. Today he is trying to search progression in snowboarding by riding in natural terrain.
