From 10th to 13th of March the mother ship of all Ästhetiker Jams, the Wängl Tängl, took place for the 8th time in the Tyrolean town of Mayrhofen. During the ‘Gäng Jam’ snowboard contest in the modified Vans Penken Park the teams were delivering a show like Tirol has never seen before!

The ‘young guns’ proved to the ‘old dogs’ that freestyle snowboarding in Europe has a bright future. Especially the show in the new ‘Red Bull Endsection’ proved that difficult technical maneuvers work well in a snowboard team contest. The ‘Absolut’ team convinced everyone as their team performance looked like a practiced freestyle sports exercise.

In the ‘Gäng Jam’ snowboard contest it is about performing runs together. The team ‚Absolut’ with Herby Thaler, Michi Stanschitz und Philip Gruber showed everyone what it is all about. Tricks like ‘cab 900’, ‘fs 1080’ or ‘double backflips’ were on the schedule. The team captain Herby Thaler had the best runs and therefore received the ‚most impressive rider’ award. The team ‚black and white’ with Reini Rieser, Mario Wanger und Tom Klocker earned the second place with their brilliant performance.

Tom Klocker got on top of it the ‘best young gun’ award. The ‘Ästhetiker 1’ team with Steve Gruber, Werni Stock and Georg Huber were on third place thanks to the routine of ‚old dog’ Steve. The team ‘Ästhetiker 2’ with Chris Kroell, Rudi Kroell and Alex Walch were on fourth place as the synchronized runs of Rudi and Chris impressed everyone. Tonton Holland from Switzerland was especially creative in the ‘Red Bull Endsection’ and truly deserved the ‘best endsection award’.
