According to the student pilot, he had performed a full stop landing to runway 10 on his first solo cross-country flight, and was conducting his second leg takeoff roll on runway 10 when the aircraft began 'fish-tailing'. He retarded the throttle to stop the aircraft, but decided he had regained directional control, and reapplied power to resume his takeoff. He lost directional control a second time and his attempt to abort the takeoff caused him to depart the runway off the left side into adjacent foliage, resulting in a nose over. Witnesses stated the prevailing winds were down the runway from a westerly direction.
Probable Cause: The failure of the student pilot to maintain directional control during takeoff resulting in an excursion off the runway and collision with adjacent foliage. A factor in the accident was the student's decision to takeoff downwind.
