The airplane nosed over on landing at a private grass airstrip. The pilot reported that he made two full stop landings and departed for a third. On the third landing he noticed the wind had shifted to 210 degrees at about 3 knots and the airplane touched down longer than in the previous landings. The pilot reported the airplane contacted a "hump" in the runway and the airplane became airborne. He reported the airplane bounced twice then the nose gear collapsed. The airplane slid for about 200 feet prior to the nose gear digging in and the airplane nosing over.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate recovery from a bounced landing. Factors associated with the accident were improper touchdown point, rough terrain, and the nose gear collapse.
