Probable cause
The student pilot's failure to take remedial action in response to a porpoise/pilot-induced oscillation during landing. Factors were the porpoise, the pilot's lack of experience, and the separation of the nose landing gear.

Read the full NTSB narrative
The student pilot related that he was on his first solo landing when the airplane began to porpoise. He said he did not have the experience or knowledge to correct the porpoise. The porpoise oscillation continued until the nose landing gear collapsed, and the airplane nosed over, sustaining substantial damage.
