What The Hell Is This ‘Russian Extreme Slalom’ Thing?

Leave it to the Russians to take snowboard slalom and turn it around to create what apparently is called “Russian extreme slalom”, a sport where your body has to be almost parallel to the snow in order to pass under ridiculously small gates.

The action starts at 1:21. Is this a thing anywhere else? Because if it is not, it should be.
