This is probably a noob question, I was with my friends hitting a handrail today and we were trying to figure out how to count kinks. Such as how many times it goes flat or down. How do you count it?

if im not mistaken its how many times the rail changes direction all together, whether going from down to flat or flat to down, or any thing else

well as a rollerblader I would count a kink as each flat in a rail such as a down flat down flat down I would consider a double kink

you know thats how ive always counted them, but a lot of people do it different, so everytime the rail changes direction then comes back, thats one kink. but i think this is the best way for sure
