I have Tony Hawk Shred for Wii. I am trying to calibrate it. I am on the left side and it just won't calibrate. Any suggestions? Thanks, Karla

At last! My Son's Tony Hawk Shred board was one more try from being thown down the garden, as i have been trying since Christmas day, & finally there it was a board i could use. I've followed all bits of advice in a number of differant ways --- here's what worked for me, Turn off at the wall Sky TV, Turn off all lights (only tv turned on), put my crutches in another room (because large metal objects interfere with soft ware), Remove dog from room, Put senser bar on floor, Turn Wii console side on so that Dongle faced away from tv (aiming into centre of room), Place Shred board on floor facing tv/senser at about three feet away. Start process of game set up untill you get to choose a profile, Select profile, press & hold for 5 secs start button on board untill the four blue lights start to flash at a rate of about one flash per sec, then hold on same button untill blue lights flash quickly, then press & hold Dongle button untill Dongle light stays on, with in 2 secs game calibartion instructions start, BEWARE Tony Hawks responce when process starts is as annoying as not being able to get board started. Good luck when up & running it is one Awesome game!

Turn off your cable or satalite box

If you are trying to run on a softmod wii - then use Greko OS to get it running

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.

Try turning the WII so that the sensor is facing the skateboard, without any obstruction. That worked for me.

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.

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.

I have been trying since Dec. 23, 2010 to calibrate this board; this is my son's... got it for him for his 8th birthday........... finally! tonight! i GOT it, after trying the batteries, moved furniture and got out the measuring tape, the repositioning of the wii, dongle, and sensor bar, directv box off, lights off, and left for hrs... nothing worked UNTIL i did all of the above AND placed a light colored sheet under the board, completely laid out, covering the dark maroon carpeting AND it worked the FIRST TIME.... after numerous attempts in the past 15 days. my son is gonna be THRILLED when he wakes up tomorrow.....

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