throttling up on the taxi way.

Hi,

Just a quick question, a while back flew back from freidrickshaven and as the plane taxied out to the runway the pilot throttled up before we entered the runway, turned while the plane was accelerating and took off, all in one movement. The cornering was quick!

I ask because it's never happened quite like that before or since. I am used to a turn on to the runway, run up the engines then throttle up as a minimum.( to make sure the engines are stable?)

Any help would be appreciated as it was quite un nerving and felt rushed.

Cheers,
