Slovenian MTB freestyle talent Tevž Turk has unveiled a brand-new slopestyle line at his home spot in Novo mesto — a project that goes far beyond a personal training line and represents a valuable addition to the local and national MTB freestyle scene.
Location & Vision
The project was developed in collaboration with Planapark, with active involvement from Tevž Turk and Urh Bulc from the Planapark team. Together, they designed and built a slopestyle line intended not only for high-level training, but also as a space for progression, creativity, and potential future events.
What began as a private backyard project has quickly evolved into a shared freestyle playground, supporting both individual development and the wider MTB community.
Who is Tevž Turk?
Tevž Turk is a 17-year-old MTB freestyle rider from Novo mesto, already competing internationally and steadily building a strong reputation in the European freestyle scene.
His riding style is defined by creativity, technical control, and confidence — qualities that are clearly reflected in the design of the new slopestyle line. The layout allows riders to progress gradually, experiment with tricks, and refine their skills in a controlled yet dynamic environment.
About the Slopestyle Line
The new slopestyle line features:
- A dynamic freestyle layout with multiple jump and trick elements
- Lines suitable for both basic progression and advanced tricks
- A setup designed for training, creativity, and flow
- Potential to host small events or local sessions in the future
Although originally conceived for personal use, the line is now open to a broader group of riders — helping establish Novo mesto as an emerging MTB freestyle destination.
