The nosewheels appear to be giving off a lot of smoke and are hard over to the left. If it is a T/O attempt, given the position of the nosewheel, why are the rudders hard over left? I suspect this may be turning off the runway with rudder nosewheel steering and the tiller being used.
Very likely.

Other possibility is that the initial takeoff was aborted because the steering was not centered and the Body Gear Steering warning came on when the engines were spooled up. Combination of light airplane, using brakes to try to steer, and non-centered tiller steering could scrub the nose tires...
