TAMP Season 8 Episode 12 Mike Smith AMFF26 Part 2

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1999190/fan_mail/new] Mike Smith is a Nebraska-based storyteller and filmmaker whose short documentary Prairie Pirates has quickly become a standout piece in the motorcycle‑film community. The film follows Mike and his friend Brady as they travel across Nebraska in search of vintage dirt bikes, uncovering not just old machines but the hidden stories, characters, and history tucked away in the prairie. Shot entirely in Western Nebraska, the project blends motorcycle culture, local heritage, and a sense of adventure rooted deeply in place. Smith describes the film as a “love letter to the Nebraska prairie,” celebrating the landscapes and people that shaped the journey.  What began as a simple idea—tracking down a couple of guys with a stash of vintage bikes—evolved into something far richer. During filming, Smith and his team uncovered a little‑known history of Kawasaki in Western Nebraska, forged unexpected friendships, and rediscovered the childlike joy of riding old dirt bikes under the stars. Prairie Pirates went on to place third at the Vahna Motorcycle Film Festival, touring nationally and representing Nebraska alongside films shot in British Columbia and Ecuador. Smith often emphasizes that the film proves adventure doesn’t require exotic destinations—sometimes the best stories are buried in your own backyard, waiting to be dug up like treasure Support the show [Https://www.patreon.com/Tampodcast] Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/danijel-zambo/borders Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/iros-young/a-perfect-day [https://track.pstmrk.it/3s/uppbeat.io%2Ft%2Firos-young%2Fa-perfect-day/vZub/HK7FAQ/AQ/e7220ca2-b397-4cd7-91d7-dac912f50101/5/DW6VdwTmvh] License code: FOOTKTRUKPPKRCAR

TAMP Season 8 Episode 9 The Adventure Motocycle Film Festival Part 1

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1999190/fan_mail/new] The Adventure Motorcycle Film Festival team — Clive Barber and Simon Josey — look back on the 2026 edition with the kind of grin you only get after pulling off something special. The inaugural festival didn’t just meet expectations; it smashed them. A sold‑out crowd at the Brewery Arts Centre, filmmakers from across the UK and beyond, and a community that proved just how hungry riders are for real, human, two‑wheeled storytelling. Now, with momentum behind them, they are already shaping AMFF27, more voices, and a bigger platform for the stories that define adventure riding. As part of the 2026 reflections, the team also caught up with three filmmakers whose work lit up the screen. Danny Lilwall spoke about turning everyday rides into emotional narratives that resonate far beyond the trail. Nick Jacobs shared how he balances cinematic craft with the raw unpredictability of travel. And Thomas Dance reflected on capturing the quiet, introspective moments that make adventure riding more than just miles on a map. Their passion, creativity, and willingness to push the genre forward embody exactly what the festival was built to celebrate.
