Bicycle cross with sidehack discipline in Amersfoort.
  Amersfoort, September 1958. Among the people who live in Amersfoort a lot of events are organized, and sports play a big role in this. Yesterday we had a talk with one of the youngest organizers who, if the signs don't lie, has a big career ahead of him. The organizer is Dickie van Heugten, Hooglandseweg 44, one of the youngest brothers in the family of well known motocross riders. His organizing talent showed after the very successful motocross race of M.C. "De Keistad" which took place on 7 September at the Hooglandseweg. Two weeks later you could see the first results at the Bicycle Cross which had the character of a real terrain ride. It became an enourmous success and despite the rain hundres of people kept watching the battle with lots of crashes and mud splashes.
 
  This was the reason that Dickie continued in this direction and the

next bicycle race is planned for Friday 31 October at three o' clock. Again the program will be extended. Just like at the motocross race in Zandvoort, a sidehack class will be added. Dickie himself will participate in the sidehack class and we have seen his vehicle that he will take to the track together with one of his little brothers. Also we got to see the track yesterday.

  In front of the St.-Michael school a track has been built with real jump ramps and ditches. Around ten kids in the age of 8 - 14 tried hard to master the obstacles (and destroy their bikes). One of the youngest speed devil was Wimmie de Haas, also a son a a well known motocrosser from Amersfoort, who took the jumps with skills. Jopie did jumps of several meters distance without wearing a helmet.

  Over 50 riders will line up on Friday at the start and Dickie was proud to show the trophies and medals he gathered for the race. The big cup was supplied by the owner of Cafe 't Oude Raedthuys, Mr. B. Balkema.

  Dicky van Heugten is 17 years old and is a 4th years student on the Constant College.
