you have my problem, i bet (except even worse because you're so much better at balancing)... so much practice trying to stop at the balance point that it's really hard to come through that point with momentum.
you do front handsprings, right? do you do them with legs still split as you come over, or are you bringing legs together at the top? I learned in gymnastics last night that if you do them that first way they're almost a walkover. you'd just need to tone the momentum down a bit until you find the right amount so you never quite leave the ground... or that's what it sounded like.
i had a handstand dream last night, btw! you were in it, spotting me. and i did this handstand on the back of a chair and stayed up for a long time. :)
