For me a it has to feel light but solid. I have to feel connected, balanced and comfortable on it (fit). It has to be quick (at least feeling now that I am older, haha).

I used to do a fair amount of flatland freestyle (360s, tailwhips, barspins etc, the "old" stuff now :-) ) and tried my hand at vert. as well, so balance and weight carried with me. When I find/fit the right bike it becomes my absolute favorite. I have way more bikes than I ride or need because of this!
