A380 Landing at KLAX - Impressive rudder inputs

Just watching the CNN video of the A380 landing at KLAX. Pretty impressive rudder inputs at touchdown but the nose wheel stayed close to the centerline throughout.

Wonder what the wind conditions were at arrival. Maybe the enormous wingspan requires a lot of rudder control similar to sailplanes.

Any thoughts from the "heavy iron" flyers?
