-Hang on the bar like you were going to do a pull-up with a vault grip.
-Raise your ankles to the bar
-Then lift your hips to the bar without bending at the elbows while sliding your legs along the bar so you finish hanging upside down on the bar with your hips at your hands.

-If you have trouble doing them at first have someone spot you by keeping your legs up against the bar as you go up, and it makes it much easier.

So only go knee high, hanging on a bar tipped at a 45 degree angle. We call those "incline Bubkas" Or you can do them (incline of normal) without your legs touching the bar at all, it takes much more strength but will only make you stronger in the long run.
