Headstand push up variation

Hi forum:

When I do headstand pushups, I have trouble with the initial eccentric part of the movement because my feet drag against the wall on the way up. I feel like I'm pushing against more than my bodyweight and it makes it harder to hold a good body line. I can't do a handstand well enough to do these freestanding, has anyone found a way to do these with something other than the wall as support or a willing victim to hold your feet?

hery Christopher, this is also a common problem of my students. you need to find a decent surface, nothing more.
