Nice article, but I have couple small problems as follows:
This quote: "Rod Keeling, the head of the new governing body that was the ABA company pilot who rose to the rank of Vice President of Marketing" is confusing. Would "Rod Keeling, former ABA VP Marketing, who first joined ABA as a pilot, was the head of the new governing body."
This "This tactic was not new to Mr. Hill. He led a one man boycott of the ABA during the 1980 season" is confusing as well. If it's a one-man boycott it wouldn't be "led" since no one else is in it. Could this be clarified?
"With that the Pro Spectaculars went out in a blaze of controversy. 1985 was the last Pro Spectacular series ever." Yet I've been to the Pro Spectacular race for the last six years. Again, could this be clarified?
Finally, there's a tiny bit of editorializing at various points.
But again and overall, a really nice article. I'll acknowledge this stuff is minor.
This article needs to be re-written to reflect the new rules, classes, and standards of USA BMX. Much of the article also includes trivial information that is not pertinent to the subject matter such as the lengthy background on disputes, history, and biographies. Much the article is now "was" and not "is." Also, the article reads with bias and some "chest pounding."

My point is I see nothing on aba filing bankruptcy. I know for a fact the #1 pro won $50.000 by winning pro spectacular an national #1 Ronnie Anderson did that but was told they couldn't pay him because they started the Hall of Fame. Godssonwon23 ( talk) 08:53, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
At this time I have deleted a lot of very long, story-like information. I have created new sections and rearranged information, but I'm not finished. I stopped at the Pro Spectaculars section, and you can see from there on the type of excess material needing to be deleted. I hope to get back to this article, and I'll update the Talk section if I do with what I was able to do and with what's still to be resolved.
Issues still to be resolved: 1. The History section is not complete since I didn't finish the article.
2. Additional information about each entity in the Competing Organizations needs to be added.
3. The section ABA Actions to Relieve Boycott needs additional copyediting, especially the last paragraph. I just rearranged things into this new section.
4. Rewriting/rearranging and massive deletions are still to be done, starting with Pro Spectaculars.
5. Additional citations and links are needed.
