Jib rail riding

I bought an 07 premier and I wanted to know how different the riding is without the jib rails attached. I don't think it would be that big of a difference. Anyone know?

the jib ribs on your new board when riding behind a boat are similar to all kinds of other ribs, you can't really enjoy them unless your at a table using both of your hands. when sliding rails, these ribs can come in handy, like a grill guard on your new dodge. when you hit a tree in your new dodge this guard (or 'rib' in our case) will help protect the cosmetics of your new ride. when you hit that new kinked down flat with your ribs on, it will help protect and improve longevity of your new ride. so screw your jib ribs on and jib away with ease on your mind!

i have the 06 premeir it's pretty much the same and i swear it's slippryr without them so i like it for that reason but the jib fins are awesome as far as making the board last on rails.

Just have a quick question. How does the board ride with the jib ribs on?Do you put them of when not hitting a slider. I ride cable,and i hit the slider almost every run,so will i have problem doing normal jumps with the ribs on?
Thanks
