The pilot said he made a 3-point landing on runway 11. During the landing roll, the right landing gear lifted off the runway. The pilot applied right aileron and left rudder, but the airplane did not respond and began tracking to the right. The pilot decided to abort the landing and added power slowly 'to aid lift to the left wing.' The airplane departed the runway, went down an embankment, and collided with a dirt bank. Both the pilot and the airport's ASOS system reported the wind to be from 140 degrees at 4 knots.
