I am wondering if there are any drills for getting a full needle scale on beam. I am about 35-40 degrees from a full split. I already have the drill where you put your scaled leg up against the wall and walk it closer to the wall if that makes sense. Thank you in advance for your input.
 
Even if you can do a full split or oversplit, you may be lacking the active flexibility.
I suggest:
Needle kicks across the floor: step, kick back, end in a needle scale position.
Kicks with a resistance band: stand and hold on to end of beam, hook a resistance band around your standing leg and kicking leg, kick kicking leg up, while leaning forward slightly.
