Narrative:

I was a passenger in the right seat; I hold a private pilots license with X00hrs total time. Only Y hours in a cessna 210.pilot botched the landing; bounced once then landed on the nose. Aircraft made a hard left turn. Pilot showed no actions to straighten out the aircraft. As it was apparent we were exiting the runway I intervened; giving full right rudder and pulled aft on the yoke to avoid a nose gear collapse. The plane crossed taxiway then down the embankment. Aircraft rolled out in the dirt between [the parallel runways]. The pilot took command of the aircraft at that point and taxied back on to [the runway] where we were instructed to taxi off and hold short of [the parallel runway]. Aircraft was taxied to parking were it was tied. I did not observe any damage nor did I hear about any property damage.
