Felix, looks like you were trying to replicate what an A320 did at a smaller airport a time ago.. I have a video of it.. (NOT a crash..) Took off and leveled at maybe 100-150 feet off ground, buzzed over some stuff then took off like a rocket.

Yeah I have that video too, its a maneuver which consists in rotating before Vr and leveling as soon as you are in the air. While you are leveled at a low altitude you accelerate quite easily and thats why at the end of the rwy it climbed out like a rocket.

That is due to ground effect. Short and rough field T.O's like that are taught as a basic manuver very early in flight training.
