Cirrus SR-20 N212LV, nose gear collapse on landing.
Purpose was ksdl-kchd-ksdl pre-solo landing practice.
The instructor was in the right seat and student in the left seat with the pilot flying.
Mishap occurred on full stop landing it was to be the last landing of the day. Landing was normal and on the centerline. On the rollout with nose gear on the runway the gear appeared to be perpendicular and normal. Then the nose gear began to buck violently. The nose went up and down several times with the gear touching the runway each time. After the third contact with the runway the aircraft pulled right and would not respond to rudder inputs. The nose gear collapsed and the plane came to rest on the runaways right side.
By estimate, the airplane had traveled about 1000 feet before the nose gear colaped. Then after about 300-500 feet before the airplane came to a stop.
