The intent was to turn BMX racing from an almost strictly participatory sport into one with great appeal to spectators. A professional didn’t have to be a professional at the start of the season. An amateur could theoretically race the required number of nationals as an amateur, turn pro before the Grand National, and have a shot at the No. 1 title.
Those who signed up to race in the National the next day got a discount on the spectator’s fee in the Pro Spectacular, so they may have not been there to support Pro Spectacular. After the ABA abandoned its own commitment to the transfer system, the luck factor was reduced and awards were consistent, but basically, just one race decided the No. 1 for the year. BMX Action ended its editorial boycott in part due to an agreement with the ABA to stop publishing its in-house magazine Bicycles and Dirt. Complaints of scheduling conflicts with the rival NBL and NBA were presented, along with rules discrimination and the general politics between the sanctioning bodies and promoters.

With this in mind, the ABA put BAD on newsstands a year after its premiere with Stu Thomsen on the cover. ABA pumped funds into the venture but it eventually became clear that they could not sustain the Huffy Nel Lusso loss. With no hope of a turnaround, and an agreement with BMX Action to cease publication as a condition to end its editorial boycott Bicycles and Dirt was discontinued with the September 1984 issue.
The coaster braking system is very convenient, and to stop the bike, you must pedal backwards.

An editorial boycott was established by Robert Osborn, the managing editor, publisher, and owner of BMX Action after he was denied a photographer’s pass at an ABA nationals in 1980. Unfavourable editorials appeared in the magazine and ABA racing events disappeared after the June 1983 issue. The March 1985 issue covered an ABA event – the 1984 Grand National.
