In Loving Memory of Dale Malasek

Dale Malasek, age 81, passed away peacefully on October 4, 2025, in Phoenix, Arizona.

A pillar of the motorcycle trials community, Dale dedicated decades of his life to the sport he loved. As Chairman of the Board of Directors for the North American Trials Council (NATC), he helped shape the direction and growth of trials riding across the country. Through his work with Mecatecno, and as a former GasGas importer, Dale played a key role in bringing world-class equipment to riders nationwide. Not only was he a formidable competitor in the National series, with multiple championships to his name, but he was also a dedicated supporter of numerous local and regional events.

Dale’s influence reached far beyond the podium. He was a mentor, advocate, and friend to generations of trial riders. His presence, leadership, and unwavering commitment to the sport will be deeply missed.

The trials world has lost a true champion—but Dale’s legacy will continue to ride on in every section, every event, and every rider he inspired.
