The student pilot landed the helicopter gently with about 10 knots forward ground speed. During the ground slide, the landing gear skids encountered a dirt patch and dug in, causing the helicopter to lurch nose-down. The instructor took control and raised the collective. The helicopter momentarily became airborne before landing firmly. The combined effect of the lurch and the subsequent landing bent the skids, dislodged the aft cross tube supports and caused the main rotor blades to dent the cover to the tail rotor drive shaft.
