​Earlier this month, 303 Boards' CLFX team skater Julian Christianson won the Denver stop of the Element Skateboards Make It Count contest series at the Lafayette Skatepark, earning a trip to skate at The Berrics in California with the Element pro team and compete in the Make It Count Finals at Element's YMCA Skate Camp. He won the contest over the weekend, becoming Element's newest flow team rider in the bargain with a one-year sponsorship. Check out the videos after the jump...
