It's been a long time since I last did this. (22 years at least).

Muddy, pothold, unsealed and stone ridden runway in a C210.
Full flap, full back stick, full power.
Nose wheel off the ground at about 25 Kias aided obviously by the prop wash over the tail plane. Airborne at about 40-45 Kias, push the nose over to fly level with the airstrip in ground effect. Retract flaps as airspeed increases, once in normal takeoff configuration commence climb and retract gear.

Works great as long as you don't stuff up.
