THE STUDENT PILOT WAS PRACTICING TAKEOFFS AND LANDINGS ON RUNWAY 25 IN CROSSWIND CONDITIONS. THE WIND WAS FROM 330 DEGREES AT 14 KNOTS. ON ONE OF THE LANDINGS, THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED DURING TOUCHDOWN. THE PILOT REPORTEDLY ADDED A SMALL AMOUNT OF POWER FOR A SMOOTHER TOUCHDOWN, BUT FAILED TO COMPENSATE FOR THE CROSSWIND. TO AVOID LANDING OFF OF THE RUNWAY, HE APPLIED FULL POWER AND RAISED THE NOSE. THE PILOT HEARD THE STALL WARNING HORN AND LOWERED THE NOSE TO PREVENT A STALL. THE PLANE COLLIDED WITH BUSHES AND A DIRT BANK ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY.
