The pilot was landing on an asphalt runway that was 26 feet wide. As the airplane touched down, about 65 miles per hour, it bounced twice, veered off to the right side of the runway, and nosed over. The pilot stated that the airplane's rudder responded normally while landing. The pilot additionally stated that, 'After the second bounce, I think I might have touched the left brake and the plane rolled over.'
