Not a biking term. "Flooring it" means to push the accelerator pedal to the floor when driving a car fast.
The motorbike equivalent we used was "Nailing it" no idea why.
"Decking it " or "Dropping it" however meant to crash, as in lose grip and fall off, while a "Prang" meant a hard collision with a car or barrier doing significant damage.

Flooring a bike means you crashed it , if you take it to the limit then your redlining it .
every bike has a rev counter which displays a red line if you accelerate past that red line you are in mortal danger of blowing your engine which in turn will cause a spectacular accident .

Putting your foot to the floor in a car whilst pressing the accelarator pedal makes it go as fast as it can. I can only think that it comes from this even though motor bikes do not have foot pedals (do they? - I'm not a biker).

Flooring it comes from cars actually as in pushing the accelerator pedal to the "floor"
On a motorbike I would say "tanking it"

flooring it is a term mainly used for cars as in you put your foot to the floor to take it to the max
i would presume its the same on a bike - riding it flat out, full speed, to the limit etc etc

You could say WOT (Wide Open Throttle) or the universal racing term, WFO, for Wide F*cking Open.

Throttle is at maximum. As fast as you can go. Example...."He was flooring it, man. That bike was going like sh1t of a shinny shovel"
