What is a Epic Ride?

So Pinkbike is doing "Video of the Year" competition and I've just been viewing and voting for my favorite video.  Most videos are of riding down fast, or of flips and shit.  I AM in awe of these riders and of their stunning video photography.  The efforts that riders and their photographers do are amazing.  I came across one video that really almost defines "Epic" - "Into Thin Air" posted on Pinkbike.com -  http://www.pinkbike.com/video/228500/ Reading the comments one reader posted this definition of Epic -  " I read in a magazine "The word ""epic"" is defined as a long poem, typically one derived from ancient oral tradition, narrating the deeds and adventures of heroic or legendary figures or the history of a nation. In the mountain bike dictionary, the word steals ""the deeds and adventures of heroic or legendary figures"" and adds ""while on a 30 - 50 mile mountain bike ride"&quo
