Lifting nosewheel on takeoff
That method is still widely used by eastern european crews on large commercial turboprop types (An26, An12, Il18 and the like).

If you have plenty of runway, definitely the best way to takeoff if you are way over the approved MTOW... when published V1, VR and V2 don't mean a thing anymore! Just watch max tyre speed...
