Almost looks like a hockey stop...

Near the end of the first film, I noticed the wheels were tilted towards the runway at an angle...  Are they built to do that, or was that the wind?

Impressive capability.  I think the B-52 was among the first large aircraft to have that kind of crosswind landing gear.
