After landing it, I certainly expected more skaters to start doing it in competition. I was surprised in the next few years when that really did not happen." Browning is also known for his footwork.

I was raised the northern way and my father had a northern name, I did my crying out in the pouring rain. And a season turned into another one, I found a heart bright like the morning sun. He touched my lips, so softly, with his fingertips. But I kept the rain falling down on me all the time, all the time. I kept the rain falling down on me all the time, all the time. And some things in life won't ever change, there's a smell of a rusty chain and of love disappearing like an aeroplane. I've kept the rain falling down on me all the time, all the time. I've kept the rain falling down on me
