I've seen it a couple of times, but porpoising is much more common.
Wheelbarrowing is due to forcing the plane down when it's still going
too fast to land.

I guess I'm just more creative. I was getting a check-out in a 207 long
ago. There was just the CFI and me in the airplane, not a lot of gas.
The first takeoff we used 10 or 20 flap, I guess I held a little forward
pressure on the yoke because I was worried about this "big, heavy, fast
airplane" coming off the ground to slow. G The initial liftoff was
main wheels first. I can tell you from experience that a 207 doesn't
handle well with just the nosewheel on the ground. Since I wasn't doing
very well driving it I rotated to try flying it and things calmed down.
I have NEVER done that again.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.
