Keeping the nose in the air during the ground run increases the lift from the wing and although this gives a higher aerodinamic drag it also reduces the weight on the wheels. As a result the antiskid will prevent the full brake pressure being applied and the landing distance will be longer. Not a recomended technique.

It looks cool though.
