Boarding it Up

Yesterday was my day off, so I took advantage of it and went to a decent size mountain in MA, Wachusetts. It's only an hour away, so it's not that big only 1000 ft from base to peak. I brought my gps with me so that I can measure my speed and my top speeds for my runs were (all in mph):

34
37.6
35.5
40.5
37.9

My goal was 40 mph so I'm glad I hit it :) If you wanted to measure your speed all you have to do is take your gps with you on the mountain, go to the trip summary part, reset the 'max speed' and go for your run. After your run you'll have your max speed. Pretty neat. I have tried this on another mountain and in more rural areas, the reading isn't as accurate and sometimes just doesn't work. But it's nice to say exactly how fast your going versus just saying you bombed down the trail.

I'm actually surpised my board is able to handle these speeds but maybe I haven't gone fast enough to really be pushing my ability and/or my boards capabilities. I'm looking into buying a new board but everyday I'm flip flopping. Originally, I kinda wanted a park board, but I have to be honest with myself, how much park will I really ride, maybe 20% of the time if that. Right now, I'm leaning towards a board with mange-traction (google it if you've never heard of it) which would be good for packed powder which is all we have on the east coast; a twin shape because I do want to be good at switch and one day master 180s and beyond, a fun kinda flexible board to pop and ollie with.

Today, I was eyeing the Roxy Ally, I def would like to get my hands on one and test it out. It surprised me that it has magne-traction but that's awesome. So far from what I've read it seems to handle a groomers and ice but it also has that added fun factor of flex. Anyone, have this board, or can give me some more details on it? Any would be appreciated.
