However, nearly 160 track operators did switch to the USBA, effectively splitting the world of BMX racing three ways. While BMX Action’s deliberate boycott was damaging, it was not the only reason the ABA received reduced coverage in the BMX press, including in BMX Action’s biggest competitors BMX Plus! And Super BMX. Many ABA nationals coincided with important NBL nationals and considering there was an informal pro boycott of ABA nationals, other races were often scheduled on the same weekend as ABA events. The press followed, which led to a further decrease in coverage. The ABA changed the way it would decide its top pro for the 1984 season.

Races were held on Friday nights and kept to two hours in length, which fit a television schedule and the attention span of an audience.

Greater revenue was obtained from entrance fees, making the ABA less dependent on participation on the local level.
