Hey refs here. Does this qualify as head diving?
I could not find a judo pic, but it is basically this without the kneebar.

Hard to be absolutely certain from still pictures but it appears that you are rolling across your shoulder. I don't think this would be called as a dive.
There is a whole discussion on this technique from 2 weeks ago entitled "Is the Victor Nage Legal" I'll ttt for you.
Legal, unless you do a head dive or the knee bar to finish.
I'd be VERY careful doing this, though, as some refs will call it as a head dive no matter what.
Also, if uke resists much, you may get face planted or do an involuntary head dive because of the resistance.

Looks like a counter to a single leg. I remember using a similar technique when wrestling. If you try that in judo you'd better have great control. If not you'll stay on your back and probably pinned if playing with even a 1/2 way decent judoka.
I wonder how that would work no-gi in competition...seems like you wouldn't have enough control.
Sothy you need a wizzer to do it no gi.

You mean no gi or gi?
The one I do doesn't use a whizzer, and it works (with a gi).
Like anything, it doesn't work all the time.
