If it's a steep kink try lifting your front foot off of the rail, instead of just sliding it through the kink, just have your front foot skip the kink.

get on the down like you would any other down rail.
when you get to the kink, take a little weight off of your front foot and shift your body weight back just a little so that you can absorb the kink and slide through it.
if your body looks like '/' sliding the down part, youre going to have to shift it to a '|' position.
