Are you ready to enjoy the best Augie Simoncini profile and BMX videos because you like unique street riding style?
Right off the bat, I must mention that bringing superman to the streets is RIDICULOUS.
Not only that, but pulling it down a set of stairs is even crazier.
But that’s what Augie is all about.
Note: Augie was not always so passionate about the streets; he was doing a lot of skatepark riding, too.
He was even pretty close with Scotty Cranmer back in the days when spending time over at the Incline skatepark.
However, his dad, a firefighter, wanted him to play baseball. And when he was punished, his father simply took his bike away.
The. Worst.
But when not, Augie was usually dressed in baseball gear, riding his BMX bike around, to the course (and to the parks).
Later, Augie Simoncini became a very close friend of Garrett Reynolds (from the Incline days).
Not just that, but Augie hung with Garrett’s dad even more than with Garrett, actually.
Unfortunately, Garrett’s dad passed away quite early in their lives.
Fun fact: Augie and Garrett pretty much started Deadline together, then met Ty Morrow and things grew from there.
Augie was born and raised in Staten Island, NY, and I believe he was born in 1987 (please correct me if I’m wrong), so we are of the same age.
He got into riding back when he was 12 years old. He started shredding local ramps. Moreover, one of his first bike sponsors was Felt Bicycles.
They even flew him out to Germany to attend a contest (but he ended up being kicked out of Germany – more in the video interview below).
Augie sums it up beautifully, “BMX is my way of not growing up.”

4. Best Augie Simoncini BMX Videos
Augie in Deadline DVD
Augie’s Deadline DVD part is an absolute must-see if you are down to see some raw street riding.
If, by any chance, you have not seen this dude shred, start the journey to getting to know Augie with this exact section.
There is a ton of good stuff in here. I particularly like all the over toothpicks down pretty serious sets of stairs.
Also, the over icepick is mind-bending (the crash is even crazier). Of course, you will also see many of Augie’s signature superman moves in here.
They told me you do this trick over dirt or a box jump, not on the street – oh well.
Augie’ video bike check (2019)
Here, you get a quick look at Augie’s Fiend BMX and Animal Bikes bike build.
Unfortunately, he does not go into details about some parts, but if you are in the BMX scene for a while, you can guess the products easily.
You can see his signature Fiend frame, Animal BMX forks, Jevelin hubs, Foursome 4-pc BMX bars, Inverse stem, Akimbo cranks, GLH BMX tires, and the list goes on.
I do not know if his signature BMX street frame from Fiend is ever coming back, but if it does, make sure you grab it, as it may not last long.
Stranger “No Hype” section
This and the previous part are the best from Augie Simoncini himself. At least, in my opinion. I do not care how old this stuff is; it is golden.
Some really heavy clips will pump everyone up; it is impossible to be otherwise.
With that in mind, I would highly advise you to watch and rewatch it a couple of times, just to understand how powerful Augie’s riding is.
There is little to no technical stuff in here, just pure street rail bangers that would make many think twice about whether even to give it thought.
No one even thinks about doing that stuff! But not for Augie; he goes all-in, producing a killer Stranger part for “No Hype.”
Augie Simoncini video bike check
Even though this is several years old, it can still give you a better idea of how Augie’s ride looks.
Sure, he is not riding this same setup anymore, but if you ever want to be like Augie, this is a start.
A Stranger and Animal Bikes setup, for the most part, heck, even Augie does not remember all the products that he rocks in here.
For instance, who even gives a damn about what BMX headset is that, for as long as the bar spins, we are all good.
Short but sweet for Tip Plus
Even one minute of shredding from Augie Simoncini is enough to get you excited to go grind rails.
The hop over toothpick, crooked grind on a flat rail and superman to fakie is a fire line.
Augie on Unclicked podcast
If you would like to get even more familiar with Augie, you better not miss his nearly one-and-a-half-hour-long Unclicked podcast.
There is a lot of facts that you may never knew about Simoncini that you will get out of this.
They chat about the loss of hearing in his right ear, growing up with Garrett Reynolds and Scotty Cranmer, Ride BMX photo, Gabe Brooks, his dad, and his approach to riding bikes.
In between, all these other goodies will make you feel like you know Augie for a very long time.
Augie’s TCU interview
Okay, let me be 100% honest with you here. I did not watch the entire almost one hour and twenty minutes long video interview, but the majority of it.
Enough to get familiar with Augie, who he is, his connection with Stranger and all these other insights.
That said, if you would really like to know how real Augie is, you better watch this one from start to finish. He even talks about his relationship with superman.
He learned it and brought it to the streets because he couldn’t do a bunnyhop tailwhip. That’s it! I guess if you cannot do a hop whip, you do a superman instead.
What’s Augie’s story
If I did not watch the last one in great detail, I sure did this one.
I think the one above and this particular 5050 Skatepark interview with Augie are more than enough to learn a whole bunch more about Augie than “just” the insane street riding that he does.
He talks about the Incline skatepark days, how he met Garrett Reynolds, how he got into BMX, his wild Germany experience and a ton more.
I always enjoy watching Augie just talk and share wicked stories.
