Ok so after months of struggling with the handstand I admit I need some help. Not having this skill is killing my progression in other areas. Typically I fall forward more than backwards when Im trying a free standing handstand.
So without further adieu...

You are doing pretty well. The main thing is what gets mentioned all the time with HS, you need to stay tight and not balance from the hips. But really your body like is looking good and you are balancing. More than anything just practice.
A small technical point is it looks like your hands are on the wide side.
Yea, it looks really good, you just need to acquire more confidence. This comes with practice.
Also, try to fight for the handstand, even if it takes you back to the wall. Don't just bail out the second you go a little off center.
One other thing for you to do is learn how to kick up to HS without a wall. You already know how to bail, so just work on kicking up and coming down without balancing, so you can learn how to catch the balance later
