Narrative:
Upon landing at mvy I experienced a hard bounced landing. I executed a go around to try and save the situation and on my second landing which was normal, after a normal go around, the nosewheel collapsed while taxiing off the runway. Once off onto the taxiway ATC gave me clearance to stop and shut down. On inspection of the aircraft I then saw that along with the flat tire I had a propeller strike to one side of the propeller. After calling my departure airport to report the problem, the chief mechanic came down, put on a new tire and propeller and he flew the aircraft back to lwm. As far as human performance I feel that I could always keep practicing touch and go's and fly more often to gain more experience.
