Those are called kipping pullups.  Used pretty much exclusively by the "sport" of Crossfit.  In my sport Strongman, typically athletes tend to come from either Powerlifting or Crossfit.  The abundance of Crossfitters transitioning over to Strongman has given a surge of numbers increase to participants at the amateur level.  However, traditional strength purists continue to make fun of them for the stupid things that their sport does to otherwise great exercises.

Crossfit is also notorious for bastardizing traditional Olympic lifts, by having athletes perform them for as many reps as possible, with bad form.  Their "teaching standards" have led to serious injuries and shortened careers of many aspiring strength competitors.
