Still, Mr. Hall approached the ABA with a plan to buy the ABA from the new owners Anderson and Vargas. This was quite strange since as mentioned the USBA was in worse shape financially than the ABA. On several occasions Mr. Hall approached Mr. Vargas and Mr. Anderson with buyout proposals. In 1982, the ABA discarded their system because the ABA No. 1 Pro for 1981, had a runaway season and gained the title a full month before the Grand National, rendering the event irrelevant in choosing the No. 1 pro.

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.
At that time, the ABA pro who won the most money was declared No. 1. The claim was that this benefited the ABA, with an exciting finish to the season, but in reality, it was detrimental to the professionals.

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. Nel Lusso Women’s Cruiser Bike by Huffy features single speed with an easy coaster braking system. The saddle is richly padded, and the 24in x 2.35in tires cushions your every day every ride.

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.
