A cheerleader in Texas blew everyone’s mind over the weekend when she seemingly stepped on thin air and went viral.

Ariel Olivar, a junior at Manvel High School isn’t the first person to do the Invisible Step challenge, but it has spread like wildfire since her post on Saturday. Naturally there are dozens of people trying to recreate the step — which is basically a one-legged jump with body control.

Some are doing a lot better than others ...

These people came pretty close.

These people did not.

Some people fell over.

Some people changed the challenge all together.

And this guy might have raised the game ...

Have you tried the Invisible Step challenge?
