The pilot was in the process of lowering the tail to the ground after touchdown when the airplane veered to the right. Adding left rudder to counter the yaw was unsuccessful, and the airplane veered off the right side of the runway and nosed over. The pilot reported "...close to touchdown I was getting bumped from side to side from crosswind gusts." The pilot said there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate compensation for the crosswind gusts and failure to maintain directional control during the landing rollout.
