'''''SK8-TV''''' is a program shown on [[Nickelodeon]] that began in 1990 and was originally hosted by [[Matthew Lillard]] (who went by the name Matthew Lynn at the time) and [[Skatemaster Tate]]. It was a skateboard variety show that featured on-set interviews as well as off site action segments. Various techniques were introduced to television in SK8-TV including hand-held cameras and the use of multi-format film and video. The set for the show was built on location at the Pink Motel in [[Sun Valley, Los Angeles|Sun Valley, California]], which was famous for its large fish shaped pool that was ideal for skateboarding.

It hosted a wide variety of [[skateboarders]] such as [[Christian Hosoi]], [[Natas Kaupas]], a young [[Tony Hawk]] and many others that went on to become famous and well known. It was created and produced by original [[Z-Boys]] Nathan Pratt and Mark Ashton Hunt from Binder Entertainment, directed by [[Stacy Peralta]], who later went on to direct the retrospective documentary ''[[Dogtown and Z-Boys]]'' with production design by [[C.R.
