Narrative:

I was doing a normal approach to runway 5. After slowing down to exit the runway I felt that aircraft would not move at normal taxi speed and that's when I noticed that I blew the left main. Tower mentioned he did see smoke coming out of left main after I touched down and asked me if I needed any assistance. I replied yes and called operations and talked to maintenance about it. I'm still not sure how this happened but I may have had my toe on the brakes or the brakes were jammed; one of the two. I know I never use any brakes during landing; I let aircraft slow by itself. I know it was just an honest mistake on my part and this could happen to anyone. I do regret that it happened; safety always been my first concern. A simple mistake like this can be avoided by paying more attention.
