On landing roll out my tail wheel aircraft swerved right on [the] runway. I repeatedly tried to correct with taps of the left rudder pedal to no avail. I applied left brake to correct and pushed harder as this did not stop the swerve. The plane went over on its nose and slid to a stop. No injuries occurred. I shut down all systems and exited the plane. Bystanders helped me lower the tail and we pushed the plane off the runway and to my hangar. Damage was to the prop; spinner and wheel pants.
RV8 pilot reported loss of control on landing roll that resulted in the aircraft tipping onto its nose.
