Setup?

[Tex202]

I'm thinking habitat 8" board (maybe hemp?), I'm little bit unsure on the trucks i was thinking royals or krux, bones stf wheels, and some swiss bearings

I'm needing some help on deciding the trucks. I'm still working on ollies so grindability is not going to be an issue with the trucks. They need to be durable and turn smooth (although turning depends on the bushings right?)

any help?

krux sound fine, but you might want to get a slighly less wide board, maybe 7.5 or so.

indy's all the way for the trucks. everything else looks great.

ive got a 7.5 right now and im not lovin the little Popsicle

ive got size 11 feet so my toes AND hell hang off a lot

i have size 11 shoes also and id recomend a 7.75 inch deck thats what i ride. but 8 inch is fine. its whatever you like. my friend has smaller feet than me and rides an 8.25 inch deck, so its just whateverr you prefer. for trucks, get independent trucks (indys) they are the best out there. bones wheels are awesome and im assuming you mean bones swiss bearings? those are awesome too.

do they really make hemp decks or do you mean bamboo?

shoe size doesn't compare much, cuz i skate a 7.5 with my 13 sized foot.

the hemp is construction, like 2 of the plies are hemp between the wood plies

And I skate 8.5'' with 55mm wheels, mostly street, wearing a size 9.5.

I'd say go for it man. Hab's are great and hemp is super strong when its applied into the deck.
Bones are amazing wheels. Swiss are great bearings. Krux, Destructo(what I ride) and Indys are all amazing trucks, best imo.

I wear size 9 shoe and skate an 8. Shoe size dosent matter much. Ride friends different sized boards and see what you prefer.
