Indycross (indy-x) was coined by snowboard coach Jay Westerveld during the 2007-2008 Winter season.
He opined that, while alpine events such as Slalom, GS, etc., are satisfactory for ski competition, the events are stale for the laid-out, air-hungry snowboard competitor.
Boardercross, while a bit media-created, is seen as a successful event that draws from the multifaceted skillsets of the advanced snowboarder.
In such a mob event, however, pole position, more often than not, dictates the victor.
Indycross sought to combine the best of both worlds:
The widely varied feature-set of the Boardercross, and the definitive, Âathlete against clock purity of one athlete, one course fostered the debut of Indycross
