vip parking, fast taxi for perferred curb side. actually stopped 200" past end of runway, no friggen brakes. by luck was able to steer maybe 7-10 degrees to miss the sign in background, over rocks and the stump you see stopped by lodging undereath the belly. ripper of a bottom com antenna, bent the front exhaust and the left wing tip was cracked by a tree not the the photo. i'm not in the photo just my groupies showing up for the 15mun of fame. have put the new rotors on and all is well. approch was with a 15mph cross wind which was swerilling and ended up as a tail wind on touchdown. not enough time for a go around 1600"with a 40" downhill slope (became complacient knowing i have landed many times with crappy brakes ).
