In Super Metroid, how do you "Kago" through falling platforms? - Railroad Tracks Running Through Autumn Birch Forest

Super Metroid speedrunners "Kago" through the first falling platform in Wasteland.

How do they do this? I've tried running into the spikes and doing as short a hop as possible while holding Down, but I'm not able to achieve the effect. Googling "Kago" tends to bring up the enemy of the same name. I don't see any tutorials online or on YouTube.
