Narrative:

While taxiing to runway 3 at jnx; I became distracted by an aircraft that seemed to be having difficulty landing. I did not realize I had reached the end of the taxiway until I was very near the turn towards the threshold of runway 3. I was unable to stop and ran off the taxiway. Right rudder was applied to avoid striking the prop on a taxiway light. The left main tire struck the taxi light. As the aircraft began to skid down sloped terrain mixture was set to cut off; right rudder and up elevator was applied to try to prevent a prop strike. The engine stopped before the aircraft stopped moving. The aircraft appeared undamaged. No injury was sustained by pilot or passenger.
