while "bmx action's" deliberate boycott was damaging, it was not the only reason the aba was receiving reduce 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 with the most prominent pros competing in the nbl and second tier sanctioning bodies like the united bicycle racers (ubr) and with those races were often scheduled on the same weekend as aba events, the press followed. this led to a further decrease in coverage with the aba events only getting one page, half page or even just a blurb in the "breaking news" section of a major bmx publication, for instance "bmx plus!" 's "check point", which as previously mentioned due to lack of top pros at aba events did not cover any aba races in depth for eight months. the bmx industry noticed this of course. in consequence, there were fewer bmx and non-bmx companies willing to sponsor, i.e. invest in, aba events with the fewer direct and indirect advertising possibilities like a race team and/or particular racer they were sponsoring having a win reported in detail or even a company banner appearing in the background of a photograph by happenstance that would be printed in a major bmx magazine. those companies could not only stop sponsoring and co-sponsoring aba races, but also stop sending their expensive race teams to aba nationals. also, the rank and file non-sponsored bmx racers-the vast majority-could stop attending aba events if they perceive a lack of press coverage and a lack of big name pros and amateurs they wanted to see and race against stop participating. the in house "aba action" newspaper was not enough since it was restricted to aba members and therefore it had a limited audience in comparison to a newsstand magazine. the obvious solution afforded to the aba was to create its own magazine. in 1982 mennenga created "bicycles and dirt" to circumvent the established press and attract advertisers. the first issue of "bicycles and dirt" or "bad", premiered with the september 1982 issue. contrary to mennenga's expectations, advertisers did not flock to the new magazine, despite its built in audience. like the newspaper "aba action" it was a subscription only magazine at the time. with this in mind the aba put "bad" on newsstands a year after its premier with stu thomsen on the cover of its september issue. it did not change the situation. the financial woes of "bad" only grew worse and worse. however, instead of cutting one's losses after a few issues as most publishers would do, mennenga continued to throw good money after bad and pump aba funds into the ill-conceived and ill-executed venture. eventually, it became clear to mennenga that the aba could not sustain the loss and there was no hope of a turnaround, and an agreement with "bmx action" magazine cease publication as a condition to end its editorial boycott he folded "bicycles and dirt" with the september 1984 issue.
