Tony hawk shred board will not calibrate even with enough clearance all around keeps saying something did not go through.

It's possible that walls, people, or other entities are triggering the IR sensors on the sides of the board. To prevent this issue, make sure that there are four feet of free space on all sides whenever playing and that there are no large metal objects nearby.

Return to the main menu and select "Options", then select "Calibrate Board" and follow the onscreen instructions. Make sure to follow the steps exactly and hold the board in the calibrating positions for the amount of the time the video that is play is telling you.

During the initial IR sensor calibration process ensure that you are standing away from the board and that you are motionless. When it is time to calibrate each individual IR sensor you will then be shown some positions on the board to hold. Ensure that your entire foot is covering the lens of the particular IR sensor you are instructed to cover. Also ensure the board is facing the right direction. The buttons on the board should be on the left side of the board. Cover the whole sensor for the full count. Tony Hawk will say "Got it" when the timer is finishing. Continue to hold that board position until the button prompt to continue appears. Stepping off of the board before that will cause an error even after Tony Hawk says "Got it". You do not need to press a button to continue to move on to the next step. The calibration video will move on to the next step on its own.

If you still have issues with the calibration then try lowering the lights in the room. Sometimes bright lights can interfere with the IR sensors.

hope this helps

try using two old batteries with two new ones, also try putting the board on a small stool just whilst calibrating, it worked for me, good luck!

You need to connect the board to the XBOX before you can calibrate...press the Connect button on the main console (on my XBOX 360S it is directly to the left of port 1 for the game controller), then press and hold the tiny button far left on the board controller. That's as far as I got, it won't calibrate to save my life!

try using two old batteries and two new batteries, also why calibrating try putting the board on a small stool - this worked for us. Good Luck!!!

My husband was ready to throw this game out the window instead of returning it because he was so upset...our poor 10 year-old son was so excited about the gift and then all of the effort it took to get the board to calibrate was ridiculous!! Researched online and lots of people said putting two older batteries into the board with two of the new ones helped. We did that and also had to move the couch into the hall and then it finally calibrated!! Oh, we also turned off the lights for some reason people said that helped as well. Don't give up! Keep trying everything but the two older batteries helped. Once it was calibrated we moved the couch back and it seems to work fine. So far it seems like a cool game!

turn all the lights in the room the only light is the tv that should do it.

you not the only one, same thing with me and 90% of other who got this for christmas

I had the same problem. My son could not calibrate the board. However I called Activision and they said to not use the batteries it came with. Instead use older batteries and try calibrating again. I did this and it worked. If I would have known it would be that easy I would have tried that a long time ago. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem. Do not use the batteries that come with the board. Use slightly older ones. After switching the batteries re-calibrate the board and that should do the trick.

try using two old batteries and two new batteries, also why calibrating try putting the board on a small stool - this worked for us. Good Luck!!! by the way the clearance of 4ft this didnt seem to matter once we put old batteries in, our room is really tiny.
