Badly. It's a downhill board.

Nonsense. The Avenger is a great carver although I'd go with the Pug for an all-arounder.

Big, heavy, stiff, wide, great concave, very responsive, very carvy, and kind of addictive but not really the first choice for an all around cruisey, commuter, but lots of us like 'em.

Motion Bigfish
Earthwing Supercharger
Earthwing Superglider
Landy Wedge Flex
Several Longboard Larry models.
Comet Galaxy
Comet Proflex 40
Insect Pintail or Big Bug
Loaded Pintail, Vanguard
Rayne Timeline
Bustin Complex or Spliff
S9 Trylam maybe
S9 Bamboo Pintail

Sector 9 Wedge -- totally under-rated board.

Talk to Gabe (boxcar182) about Avengers.
He's running Randal 180's with a 35 degree baseplate in back.
With his "G-Spot" bushing combo (you'll have to ask him what it is) it actually pumps. And nicely.

..he also downhills on it.

With 52 degree Grizzlies, I can pump mine, but it can wear me out after not too horribly long. Carving is fun too, but a lot of that is just in the great concave paired with the awesome carving of the trucks.
