I think it's the number of the warranty claims department...
gotama in engrish mean "big ski, weak sidewall" :fmicon:
Strikes me as being in the same alphabet as Sanskrit, on which I once had a better grip than I do now. Anyone have any pics of the text itself?
You majored in a ten-thousand year old dead language?
You never know, it could make a comeback.
Look at the Red Sox.

Not exactly a "major", but idle-curiosity-driven interest. I'm the Yeti, I'm from the abode of snows:

What more do you expect?
Are you a girl Yeti?
Due to the brutal texas 'joinging' I recieved above, I fell into a deep, morbid depression. Thus, lying on the floor in self-lacerating and sickening humiliation, by sheer force of logic, I knew I must redeem myself. I then embarked upon a quest for the truth... I went to the souce - that is - I went to Volkl. Here is their reply:
---------
Justin,
Unfortunately, I can't be the one to clear up that little mystery for
you. It's sort of like the "33" on a Rolling Rock label...nobody
really knows...
Thanks for choosing our skis.
Thank you for your interest in Volkl.
Volkl Ski Guru
---------
Alas, what am I to do? What - indeed, what - does this mean? Is the Volkl-guru of Buddah himself not able to furnish me with the knowlege for which I yearn? And what of the meaning of life? Should not the translation of a few symbols be, if the grand scope of things, a simple task for a god or prophet? Has truth and knowlege vanished. Oh - woe is me, jongee of texas and beholder of brittle-sidewall skis. Can no one lift this blanket of despair from mine eyes?
Volkl doesn't even know what they put on their own skis?! The retardedness can't quite be quantified.
i got it!!! it says......
Z-BO ownerizez BakerBoy!
Is that BakerBoy you are kissing in your avatar?Quote:

See that red writing up toward the tip? That says "Volkl."
Glad I could help.
