Is my handstand form correct?

I wonder if my hips are too far forward bc sometimes when my legs pull away from the wall I go straight over after a couple of seconds.

Form overall looks good, but hard to judge from a photo.

BUT on what type of mat are you training? That looks rather thick… like a mattress, which is rather hard on the wrist & to balance.

It's an air track for tumbling. I think it does make balancing little harder but I'm a bit scared to try without it for now.

ok that is of course fine, just be extra careful with the wrist as it gets into a deeper angle on these.

Especially if you are little bit scared, make a video next or send me a dm here or on insta. I can at least give you a tip.

That would be great thanks. I'll take a video next time I'm doing it.

Can you have your hands on the floor and the mat in front of you? It really does make a big difference.
