A new and potentially bone-shattering challenge has taken the internet by storm, and while it might look easy to some, it’s proving to be difficult for a lot of the brave people who have dared to face the Milk Crate Challenge head-on. Most folks who muster up the challenge to climb the pyramid of crates end of falling to their impending doom, but the fad has owned black twitter for almost two weeks now. The hood olympic sport has even crossed over into the celebrity realm as rappers have even tried their luck on the crates.
Even celebrities have tested their balance on “the crates of death”
What is the Milk Crate Challenge?
The Milk Crate Challenge is viral competition requires contestants to stack together a tower of milk crates and attempt to walk safely up and down both sides of the feeble structure without falling. The creates, which are your commonly used in the black community as a basketball hoop for kids who couldn’t afford a real one, must be stacked like a pyramid. As the challenger climbs, he or she can not touch the crates. Usually bet are beforehand on whether or not the climber will make it to the other side. (Most don’t.)
Milk crates are not the most sturdy objects and some social media goers are nearly sending themselves to the hospital attempting the odd task. Once contestants get to the top of the crates, they quickly realize gravity has no remorse, and could care about your bodily harm.
Winners of the death-defying stunt can rake in a cash prize for successfully completing the scary challenge, as a small entry fee of $1-$5 is often collected from participants before the game begins. As you can see in the videos above, some have failed miserably. However, there have been a few Black women who have shown up and shown out with their Milk Crate Challenge victories.
One young lady set the bar real high. A video has been making its way across the internet of a young woman who successfully slayed the difficult challenge in heels. Social media goers were absolutely shocked at how she did it too.
“As a woman who has walked in heels on a flat surface ALL HAIL THE QUEEN,” wrote one person on Twitter.
This melanated queen is not the only sister to grace the Milk Crate Challenge either. A few other videos of Black women effortlessly defeating the wobbly obstacle have been popping up across the interwebs, like this young Black girl below who sweeps down the shaky structure like a nimble ninja warrior.
This queen showed up in a bonnet and eviscerated the competition!
