i remember when I first saw smokin bill frazier after he moved to the sacramento area from san diego. that must have been about 10 years ago and he was riding his black 2004 superjet at miller park. he didn't know anybody so he wasn't socializing either. he wasn't exactly using the proper wake etiquette, so on the beach I struck up a conversation about how we do thing here and we were great friends ever since. he was one of my consistent riding buddies since day one and we kept in contact by phone even in winter time. I saw him go from that stock round nose, that I ended up putting a B pipe on it for him, to that black WDK rev for a couple seasons, to the first foot rocket to land in the USA, to a rickter FR2 evo. he hadn't had a ski for a couple seasons now, but he ordered a stage 2, 50 cal foot rocket starter kit from chris grace. he even picked up a 760 motor from birdman to put in it, but when the 997 RTR option came out, he upgraded to that. he was all excited to have a ski again after being down for a couple seasons. he called me all the time and looked forward to riding with me again. it just about brings a tear to my eyes to think that i'll never answer the phone again and hear him say "Sharky, what are you doing?" he will be missed and remembered
