I checked with Tom B. and less a minor form tweak, everything looks to be in order. With a straight body, I arch forward (belly out) and then explode backwards while throwing my arms downward for the pull-up movement. At the top, I push out hard, falling back into the arch-forward position and setting myself up for the next pull-up.
The whole thing reminds me of a marionette puppet. When done correctly, you exert relatively little energy to a dead hang pull-up, but you reap the benefits of a well-rounded compound movement. On the CrossFit website, you'll see a lot of people bending their legs, but I like to keep mine totally straight like on high bar, keeping form, with toes pointed. Just like the old days.

You need the Again Faster Bar. It rocks!
Some people say it's easery to do a kip on it and some say it's harder. I find it easy.
I'd love to have it, but I think it's a bit spendy for me. I have so many sport and fitness related things I want to buy. I've looked at it several times and considered it though.
