Delete lines in a block of code in vim

If you had this bit of code:

request.post('http://someurl', function(){
    request.get('http://someurl', function(){
        do.something;
    });
});

And you wanted to delete the get request to get to here:

request.post('http://someurl', function(){


});

With the cursor on the end of the 2nd line (on the {, just do:

1. <Ctrl+v> Visual block mode
2. % to navigate to the matching }
3. d to delete
