Getting the front tire a tiny bit off the pavement may be as close as we can get to this, since if it doesn't come up slightly, you can't tell if there's still a little weight on it.

It's like sailing as fast as possible in a catamaran... you keep the windward hull just tapping the wave tops.
Good reading.

Now to convince someone to be my flagger to practice this haha
