In a physics sense it would happen when the torque applied by the forward momentum is higher than the force applied by gravity - the higher you are above the contact point with the ground, the more torque you apply and the more likely you are to rotate around the wheel.

The lower and further back you can get your weight, the more force you should theoretically be able to apply (being wary of deweighting the front wheel too much such that a hard front brake causes a skid instead)
