When one was young & not too bright, one would, occasionally, hold full back elevator on a BN2 prior to commencing the takeoff roll. Within one rotation of the main wheels, clearly visible out the left window, the aeroplane nose wheel would lift off. Judicious application of nose up elevator, would see the pitch attitude hold a steady takeoff attitude, and the aircraft lift off about 65 kts.
