Tony Hawk: Shred is a 2010 peripheral-based, motion-controlled skateboarding video game. It is part of the Tony Hawk's series and the sequel to Tony Hawk: Ride.{{cite web|url=http://www.nowgamer.com/news/918339/first_tony_hawk_shred_screens_online.html|title=First Tony Hawk: Shred Screens Online|last=Hopkins|first=Tom|publisher=NowGamer|accessdate=19 September 2010|archive-date=March 22, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120322092737/http://www.nowgamer.com/news/918339/first_tony_hawk_shred_screens_online.html|url-status=live}}
Shred introduces a snowboarding mode to the series as well as Avatar and Mii support on the Xbox 360 and Wii versions respectively. A "surfing" mode was worked on for the game, but was soon scrapped due to funds and short amount of time to work on it.
Reception and hiatus
The initial price for the game was $120 for a bundle including the skateboard controller and approximately $50 for the stand-alone game. During its first week on sale in the United States, the game sold 3,000 copies;{{cite news|url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-11-17-tony-hawk-shred-sold-how-many|title=Tony Hawk Shred sold how many?|author=Robert Purchese|newspaper=Eurogamer.net|date=November 17, 2010|publisher=Eurogamer|access-date=March 7, 2012|archive-date=December 28, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171228232253/http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-11-17-tony-hawk-shred-sold-how-many|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=http://www.gamingunion.net/news/tony-hawk-shred-bombs-in-north-america--3302.html|title=Tony Hawk: Shred Bombs In North America|publisher=GamingUnion.net|accessdate=17 November 2010|archive-date=November 23, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101123033340/http://www.gamingunion.net/news/tony-hawk-shred-bombs-in-north-america--3302.html|url-status=dead}} combined with the mixed to negative reception, the Tony Hawk franchise was put on hold until Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD was released in 2012.
