The purpose of the flight was to perform stop-and-go practice takeoffs and landings on a paved runway, which the pilot was not accustomed to. After stopping on the runway on the fourth landing, the pilot added power to rapidly move clear of the active runway. He executed a left turn onto the taxiway and noted that the airplane was moving faster than he had intended for the required sharp turn to a narrow taxiway surface. The airplane continued off the runway surface and began paralleling the taxiway adjacent to a ditch. The right wing contacted the opposite bank of the ditch and the airplane pivoted 90 degrees about the wingtip, coming to rest with the nose gear collapsed at the bottom.
Probable Cause: The pilot's excessive taxi speed, which led to a loss of control.
