Shawn Maffenbeier's weekend started out pretty shaky when a nasty crash pulled his clutch right off the bar.
Californian, Topher Ingalls, jumped on the Walton TransCan Scott Motorsports Honda 450 that Julien Bill used in 2011.
Donk (lt) has had some success at the Montreal SX as a mechanic. This year was no different as he and Cole Thompson won the MX2 main.
Cole Thompson signing a jersey for a fan early in the day on Saturday.
I gave Kaven Benoit's mechanic, Jerome Therrien, the old, "Hey, Jerome, look over here!" trick.
Donk always takes pride in his rider's bike. It was shining like a top before every outing on the track.
The Leading Edge riders all had "4 Beats" on their butts.
Dylan Kaelin (lt), Shawn Maffenbeier (middle), and Jeremy Medaglia (rt) talk business before a race.
'Suspension Guy,' Graham Brough, making some final adjustments and checks before Goerke heads out on the track.
Eric Jeffrey (lt) and Josh Snider during the track walk.
This little dude gets an appreciation for the FMX riders.
Promoter, Pierre Corbeil, gets himself hung up on the finish line.
KTM's Danny Brault and his wife, Tabitha, get the prizes ready for the podium presentation.

The Supermini podium: #456 Jean-Christophe Bujold 3rd (rt), #100 Samuel Lavoie 2nd (lt), #111 Jeremy Beauvais 1st.
Indy Car superstar, Alex Tagliani, getting airborn.
Another Indy Car superstar, Patrick Carpentier.
Have you ever watched Bobby Kiniry before a race? Well, you should.
If this medic guy thought he could run me over and almost break my leg and then not even so much as check on me or apologize without me calling him out, he was wrong! Whoever his boss is should have a talk with him. Brutal. Is this ironic or just hilarious?
Brothers, Tyler (rt) and Jeremy Medaglia, talk about the track before Jeremy heads out for an MX2 moto.
Dylan Kaelin heading for battle.
I thought I'd toss in a couple riding pics to illustrate how tight the racing was between these two all weekend.
I don't think they will be on each other's Christmas card list...do people still do that?
This pic is to go with the one from last year where he's sitting on the second step.
New Monster girl.
Dusty Klatt's mechanic, Adam Turner of Podium 1 Suspension, gives Dusty's helmet some love.
I've actually never seen these guys before but they look pretty important in their matching get-ups!
Teddy Maier's mechanic, Pat O'Connor, is always quick to tell me I'm #1.
Californian, Vicki Golden, is the X Games SX champ and the first-ever woman to compete against the guys at the Montreal SX.
MX1 podium: Bobby Kiniry 3rd (rt), Tyler Bowers 2nd (lt), Matt Goerke 1st.
Matt Goerke's fiance, Erin, got stuck on the wrong side of the fence for one of the podium celebrations.
American, Tyler Bowers.
Matt Goerke was not going to be beaten this year.
Bobby Kiniry is a bit of a throwback to another generation so he gets the black and white treatment. That, and it helps when a shot is a little out of focus...
Monster girls.
Patrick Carpentier.
Alex Tagliani.
Jeff 'Swampy' McConkey.
I don't know who this is, but, hopefully, I'll (wait for it) see her at the races...
