Had he been running cut fenders, the fender would have flexed and that would have been the end of it. I keep them on because they are an xmas present.

I've also bent one of the front ones by getting caught on a tree. Any time you exert too much pressure on these lots of plastic clips are gonna snap as they are the weak point, and you'll spend a lot of time trying to fix the pieces of junk. If you actually wheel, do it right the first time and get something that is metal.
