gnar
Dog's angry sound
Gnar is skate and snowboard slang for difficult, gnarly terrain or conditions—the challenging stuff that tests your skill.
To shred the gnar is to ride aggressively on demanding slopes or obstacles.
The word is a back-formation from gnarly, clipping it to something punchier: We hit the mountain early to shred some gnar.
