Do you have tips how I can maybe land my handstand forward roll on beam? My coach says I should hold the handstand longer, but are there other tips? He hasn't coached this skill before so we are both looking for tips here.
 
I have never done these on beam or worked with someone who has, but you could try holding the handstand longer or even try to roll down slower that way you have more time to get in the right spot on the beam. It also appears that you go down on the beam slightly to the side.
 
You can try first to end in a straddle position (allowed in the code of points to get full credit) and then you might get the feeling for the direction and the move. Moreover, I wouldn't swing up that fast. A longer handstand hold would make it easier but is not neccessary. My girls managed this skill while doing the roll up mount, so maybe this will also work!
Good luck! :)
