Calibrate the tony hawk ride

I had the same problem. I turned the WII so the dongle/sensor that comes with the game is facing the skateboard with a clear line of sight between the dongle/sensor and skateboard. Now it's able to calibrate. Hope this works for you.

Try turning your WII so that the dongle that comes with the game faces the skateboard. I had that same problem and this solved it.

I had the same problem. I solved it and got the board to calibrate immediately when I replaced the brand new batteries with used batteries. Brand new batteries apparently make the lasers very sensitive. You have less sensitive sensors with the used batteries. I just took some AA's out of my cable remotes. The game is awesome once you get it calibrated. I felt your pain for an hour or so.

Just put old batteries in as a last ditch effort before exchanging for the second time. Worked and my 6 year old is having a blast now!

i had this same issue try turning off the lights leaving only the light from the tv....worked like a cham for me!
