Hitting the throttle mid flight on a dirtbike brings the front end up. It’s the centripetal force of the rear tire and its inertia that causes it. Conversely, hitting the brakes brings the front down for the same reason. So if anything, him smashing that like button “helped” him.
Torque. The word you're looking for is torque. Centripetal force is what causes things rotating about a point to feel acceleration toward that point.
Hitting the throttle brings the front end up because the inertia of the wheel lags behind the torque of the engine. Same thing that happens if you gas it too hard from a stop and the front end pops up.
What do you mean the bike front end didn’t pop up the back wheel tilted the front end diehard downward and he’s forward momentum made him go forward away drug the bike
Torque is force applied, the rotational inertia is what the torque is being applied to. Or, like i said the inertia trapped in the wheel. The torque comes from the rotational inertia of the wheel during mid air braking. In hindsight the centripetal force may not be the correct term for this but it 100% is the rotational inertia of the wheel that is either applying the torque, or having the torque being applied to. Without that inertia, there would be no force to act upon. So, yeah thanks for the clarification and I hope what I said here makes what I said up there make sense.
This is correct. Too little gas given too late dropped his front wheel. The guy you're replying to has obviously never even ridden a bicycle, as his images and explanations illustrated.
It's not the same thing, silly bitch. This new guy crashed because he was going too fast for the initial bump of hitting the ramp. He needs more suspension travel or less speed. He would have been fine if not for that factor.

He needed to be on throttle, not leaning over the bars, and have his ass off the seat.
Off the throttle at launch
No, he'll crash without throttle. What keeps your front wheel up? Throttle. This isn't a curved redbull MX stadium ramp, it's flat. Don't argue, you're welcome.
Weight distribution/throttle control. On a bicycle you just position your weight over the back wheel and then shift your weight. On a dirt bike you can also use the throttle to affect your momentum.
what else are you going to do when all youve got to entertain yourself on a weekend is a motorcycle, a piece of plywood, some gas, and a bottle of whiskey? some things are just inevitable.

There still would have been a hard thud but would have given him a chance avoiding being bucked.

Face it. We all know that guy. Maybe even related to him.
There were at least two other people right there that could have talked him out of it, but didn't.
Could have been worse. Could been dry asphalt.
Would have scrubbed the skin off him like a wire wheel.
Drink a beer, walk it off, he'll be fine.
