Not sure who you're asking, but when I played inline (including in each of those vids) I used this method: Roller Toe Tie Method
This is a discussion on Side to Side movement within the Roller Goalie forums, part of the Equipment Chat category; what toe tie method do you use?...
what toe tie method do you use?

I have to disagree with no stepping at all Synesthete. You are completely accurate that the fluid movements in inline work well (that you aren't always square, and backing up to keep up with the play, then swivel your pads). But you can get away with steps if you do it right, and it keeps you square to the puck. You have to use it sparingly and at the right moments. But, I know for me I can't have weight too balanced on either leg, or else obviously it will throw off the movement of making a save. It is good to see others who love inline like I do! :D
I have some videos showing the stepping working, as well as the swivel you are talking about.
Also, my experience sources from 16 years of inline and ice. :)
Stepping doesn't keep you square to the puck. If the puck is behind the net, you can't be square to the puck at all. Unless you're turned around, which would be ridiculous.
Stepping is good for following point movements, but if the puck is behind the net, I'd absolutely never recommend stepping. It's inefficient, you can't follow the player and puck, and I've seen in many cases that the goalie then over-commits and get stuck in sand should the player stop and go the opposite direction or pass the puck back out into the side of the net. That's the nice part about the method I'm showing above: in those cases because you're following the puck carrier and know his actions, you can quickly recover into a good position if there's the trick pass or if he/she changes directions quickly.
