Oh my - you can tell by my avatar that Kurt is my all-time favorite skater. He's masterful and I don't think anyone has better feet. I get lost in those Youtubes frequently, Thanks for posting.

Teenes - I remember you from wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy back and Kurt's website. Nice to "see" you again. I've probably seen Brickhouse about 20 times or more but I think the best one yet was his performance at the 2009 Battle of the Blades. Masterful. He literally has the best feet in figure skating. Thank you.

Here's another of my favorite programs - Singin' in the Rain. But the video starts off with Kurt and Sandra Bezic (was that a match made in heaven?) choreographing the program and then Kurt goes on to talk about the preparation before he skates. Enjoy!

Hi! I'm still around, still doing the Kurt Files and the Kurt Browning Facebook page. Just a bit busier with life. Glad you enjoyed the Brickhouse videos!

Kurt has been busy "training in isolation" and posting little vids to his Twitter and Instagram.

Because watching Kurt makes me happy and because I'm "sheltering in place" and getting bored, and because no matter where you are today you need a smile.....here's another of Kurt's iconic performances. I don't think people that don't skate can truly understand how difficult it is to do a comedic piece like this interspered with great jumps out of footwork no less. Enjoy!

Ohhhh - Lad, that was great. Kurt has always been humble and it sure showed in this video. Interesting. I remember watching him land the quad (would like to say I was only 2 years old at the time but..................) and it was quite exciting.

Good morning y'all. No tribute to Kurt would be complete without his beautifully choreographed - another iconic - Lilliehammer Olympic program. I just watched it again for the umpteenth time and got all meloncholy again. IF only his short program had been clean he would have had that gold medal wrapped around his neck. If I remember correctly, or just want it to be true, he won the freeskate but his SP scores put him too far back to medal. What a beautiful character-driven program though, right down to tossing the imaginary cigarette onto the ice.

Just FYI, I've been posting daily Kurt programs on his Facebook page (and my kurtfiles Twitter), with Stars on Ice group numbers on the weekends. Follow along, if you're interested!

Oh your the one whose been posting Kurt's programs on Facebook. Thanks, I've been watching all your posts. Yes, Kurt is my favourite skater of all time and Singing in the Rain is his best program, especially the original one he did on the CBC broadcast.

Got any questions for Kurt, or just curious what he has to say in response to other fans' questions? Kurt is doing a Facebook Live Q&A on the Kurt Browning Facebook page on Saturday June 20 at 2PM EDT. Come celebrate the first day of summer with us! =)

Also, a happy belated birthday to Kurt! He turned 54 yesterday =).

Just in case anyone was interested in watching the 1+ hour Q&A, here it is on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NC5HMJE7wRc



I've been following Kurt's career closely for decades (and have interviewed him myself several times) and I still heard stories and things I'd never heard before in yesterday's Q&A. Not to mention, he gave us a tour of his costume closet and he's kept everything!
