Sliders and fins

I've seen a lot of videos showing people hitting sliders and it looks like they don't use fins. I am planning to hit my first slider this month but the fins are really confusing me. Do they not use fins or are the molded fins just really small?

It doesnt matter personal preference, although you might break your fins off if you choose to ride with them while hitting obstacles.

I've removed mine, my cable park won't let you hit the sliders if your fins are move than 1.5".

I'd agree with the comment about breaking them.

shakeywakey, I can't remove mine because they are molded in? Would they care about that?

I hit the slider we made with fins in. Just preference. They're the metal P wings, so it's all good.
