Czechia | Active public archive: 2018-present | Known for: Karolinka edit, SPK Jib Session, Slav and Friends, Czech park and street skiing | Discipline: park skiing, jib, creative freeski
The takeoff at Snowpark Karolinka sat under a pale Beskydy sky, with rails and jumps cut into a compact Czech park line. Honza Novotný moved through the setup with the rhythm of a skier built around repetition: edge set, pop, slide, landing, reset.
That 2019 Karolinka edit is the clearest individual marker in his public ski archive. Freeride.cz introduced the clip as a Czech freeski edit filmed in Snowpark Karolinka, with Novotný spending two minutes on the local jumps and rails. The video was credited to Cervinka pixels, giving the piece a filmer identity rather than leaving it as a loose social upload.
Before the Karolinka solo clip, Novotný already had a concrete contest result in the Czech scene. Freeride.cz reported that he won the freeski field at SPK Jib Session 2018 in Karolinka, ahead of Honza Prokeš and Pavel Mikula. The recap linked the result to a video by MJ Production.
SPK Jib Session fits the kind of skiing attached to his name: rails, small-event energy, local crews, and tricks judged close to the spectators rather than from a distant stadium booth. The result does not place him on a World Cup ladder, but it gives the page a verified competitive anchor in a Czech jib format.
Freeskier.cz lists Jan Novotný among its team riders, alongside Štěpán Hudeček, Tomáš Peč, Pavel Mikula, Jakub Hanzlíček and Jirka Lafek. That listing matters because Czech media often uses “Honza” as a familiar form of Jan, while several ski posts use Honza Novotný in the rider credit.
The safest editorial choice is to title the page Honza Novotný, because that is how the freeski media archive names him, while understanding that Jan Novotný appears in sponsor or team contexts. Freeskier.cz frames its team as supporting Czech national freeski-team members and young talents, but it does not give a detailed biography or equipment breakdown for Novotný.
The largest film reference around Novotný is Slav and Friends, released online in 2021 by Simon Bartik. Downdays described the movie as a two-year project built around Bartik and friends, mixing spring skiing, urban, backcountry and park footage.
Freeride.cz listed Novotný in the rider lineup with Šimon Bartík, Tomáš Kroczek, Daniel Hanka, Tereza Korábová, Mário Skála, Štěpán Hudeček, Alex Hall, Michal Klápště, Jirka Volák, Dušan Kříž, Kuba Roj, Kuba Hroneš, Robin Holub, Kuba Kožak, Sam Baumgartner and Richie Jurečka. Newschoolers also described the film as a Czech ski video traveling through Czech cities, European snowparks and resorts.
Novotný’s skiing should be read through the Czech crew-film lens. The public record does not present him as a headline big-air athlete or a FIS podium rider. It places him in edits where the value comes from rail timing, park flow, presses, spins onto metal, creative landings and the ability to add a clean clip inside a group project.
That kind of role matters in a small freeski scene. Czech ski media has long relied on crews, shop support, local parks and filmers who make limited resources look alive. A rider does not need a separate profile interview to become part of that texture. Repeated appearances in Karolinka, Slav and Friends and later Bartík-related projects show continuity.
The Kyselica video listing adds another useful piece. The YouTube description names Honza Novotný as the rider and points to Freeskier.cz as a sponsor, with Ski Karolinka also included. That connects three recurring parts of his archive: the rider name, the Czech shop/team structure and the same Beskydy-area park environment.
The available public details are limited, so the clip should not be overstated as a major film part. Its value is more precise: it confirms that Novotný had enough support and local visibility to appear in named edits tied to Freeskier.cz and Karolinka, not only in broad group-movie credits.
Freeride.cz also placed Novotný at Stop Zevling Winter Edition in Prague in December 2022, published in January 2023. The report described a temporary jib setup at Čerňák, with three obstacles, a chillout zone, fashion and food stands, DJs and a mix of younger riders and more experienced skiers and snowboarders.
The article identifies “Honza Novotný” in a photo credit by Jan Macháček. This kind of event sits close to street skiing even when it is organized inside a controlled venue: short inruns, compact rails, hard snow, spectators nearby and tricks that need to work without the space of a full slopestyle course.
Novotný’s name is still visible in recent Czech freeski media. In 2026, Freeride.cz reported on Šimon Bartík’s Mulletslav and noted that Štěpán Hudeček and Honza Novotný also appear briefly. Newschoolers listed the video with locations and events including Camptastic Voyage, Jib League, Gmon Airline Session, Swatch Nines, Penken Park and Vítkovice.
That is a different role from Karolinka in 2019 or the 2018 SPK Jib Session win. It is not an individual feature. Still, it keeps his name inside the same Czech creative orbit years later, beside Bartík and Hudeček, in a project filmed by Magnus Skotte Nørsteng, Jakub Roj, Arthur Herbosch, Antoine Deblangy, Nicolas Bredeston, Björn Eklund, Ralph Hogenbirk and friends.
The best skipowd.tv tags for Honza Novotný are Czechia, Snowpark Karolinka, SPK Jib Session, Freeskier.cz, Slav and Friends, Mulletslav, Stop Zevling, park skiing, street skiing, jib and Czech freeski crews. The page should avoid inventing a World Cup path, sponsor roster or detailed gear setup that the public archive does not support.
The safest current endpoint is the 2026 Mulletslav appearance after a public trail that includes SPK Jib Session 2018, Karolinka 2019, Slav and Friends 2021 and Stop Zevling Winter Edition 2023. That gives the archive a clear structure: Czech park roots, rail-focused clips, shop support and recurring crew visibility.
