I know that we all have opinions on this site and some are viewed different then others, but im going to give my .2 on the matter.

Andrew Reynolds. He is 34 years old. Hes been SOTY. He is a fucking machine. I have so much respect for him, his dedication and pure commitment to the sport is incredible. Watch this video. He back 3's a 13 stair almost 6 times in a row. He is a perfectionist and he's been in the game since he was 9 years old. He owns 3 companies and distributes for four. Hes married with a kid aswell. Watching him skate makes me love the sport and inspires me.

inb4 riding Reynolds' nuts.

Emerica has one of the gnarliest teams aswell.

Leo Romero ( SOTY )

So much respect.

Figgy

Also, this is all opinion so please dont come in bashing and being a dick.

inb4 Jaws aswell.

Maybe not the gnarliest, but fucking awesome. inb4 hes too mainstream, fuck you hes mainstream for a reason
 
I don't have nearly enough background in skating to compare him to other skaters, but the second video was sick as tits.

the asian kid was talking about how hes always being super healthy to help with his skating, and yet multiple times hes holding a cigarette while hes doing these ridiculous tricks.
 
this. i pity his knees.

nyjah does some gnarly stuff in his real street too, much as i want to hate him front blunt down an 18? stair handrail is gnarly by any definition of the word.
 
I've liked Andrew Reynolds ever since I got my first Thrasher magazine and saw a sequence of him pulling a huge 180 over this 6 foot wall and dumpsters from a gap above.
 
Dennis Busenitz is high on my list just for the fact he skates faster than anyone and he has the nicest kick flips in skateboarding.

also Omar Salazar and Brandon Westgate skate really fucking fast and are both seriously gnarly.
Guy Mariano is fucking gnarly since he is an old timer and still trhowing down SUPER tech innovative shit. 270 tailslide big flip out SON.
 
I hope he was kidding. Anyway Reynolds is The Boss. A very well deserved nickname, sickest frontside flips in the game for sure. Jaws is definitely the gnarliest skater by definition though. Westgate is really high up there too, he has sooo much pop and skates with sooo much speed.
 
To anyone who doesn't own Stay Gold, go buy it immediately.

Also since Leo's part has yet to be posted, here it is:

 
There's the obvious of P-Rod who can throw anything switch and make it look so clean.Also, Haslam because how gnarly his beard was.

Rodney Mullen, invented probably half of the tricks done today:

Jaws definitely...... Got a chance to film with sk8mafia /claim ... And all those guys rip , super good attitudes too
 
Im not so sure about over all gnarliest, a lot of the Plan B team are gnar (minus Sheckler), but I sure as hell know that Lizard King does the GNARLIEST kick flips. Period.

specifically jamie, guy is SUPER nice, not to mention insanely tech, and has one of the smoothest styles ive seen

Ali Boulala is one of the gnarliest skaters ever. Eric Ellington, Dustin Dollin, Lizard king is crazy as shit and so is Ragdoll
 
that rodney mullen clip blows me away no matter how many times ive seen it. fucking insane balance and board control.

but all of these dudes are gnar. skateboarding has gotten so dope so much talent out there.
 
He has godawful style though.

That Reynolds madness video makes me lol everytime. Dude is a basket case, but then again he skates massive sets of stairs for a living.

I would say Reynolds, or after seeing his internet part, Nyjah. That slam on the front feebs in his part is BRUTAL.

David Gonzales is climbing rapidly after that video part he dropped a month or so ago.

Also gnarly but a totally different kind of skating, Danny, Jake, and really anyone who really shreds the mega ramp. Because regardless of how much the xgames blows out the mega ramp, it still takes serious cojones to shred that thing.
 
Forgot one other insanely gnarly street dude, we cant forget Heath. Dudes been gnarly for so long.
 
David Gonzales is for sure one of the gnarliest, refer to smooter's post. ^^^

A lot of you guys are missing the point, I think what OP meant by gnarly is how hard they go in the sense they rip while doing HUUUUGE shit. If you post a part that isn't hard to watch because you think the skater is gonna die halfway through... you did it wrong.
