The eras this page's records fall in are drawn solid; the others are hollow.

How we know: Each bar runs the years printed on that era's panel, and which eras a page falls in is the archive's grouping of its records, not the length of anyone's career.

Years 2014 to 2017, one box each A single row of boxes, solid for a year printed above a fact and hollow for a year printed above none. 2014 2017
  • a year printed above a fact on this page
  • a year printed above no fact

Printed above the facts, 2014, 2015 and 2017. Printed above none, 2016. 1 fact has no year printed above it and marks no box.

Every year from the first to the last year printed above a fact on this page, one box a year.

2015 · Likely

The Watercraft Journal's report of Wavedaze, held at Virginia Beach on 10 to 12 April 2015, says the Pro class of round 2 of the Krash Nationals USA freeride competition held there was won by a rider who edged out Brandon Lawlor. It is a magazine's report, not a result sheet, and no sheet for the round is held (searched the archive's mirror and research cache, 2026-10-18).

Likely

The Journal's report of the seventh Cronulla Rip n' Ride in Australia, posted 25 September 2014, which it says was not a full-on competition, says the American Brandon Lawlor showed up to back up his win at the Blowsion Surf Slam and names him among the riders chosen for the judged Jet Pilot Best of the Best there. It prints no date for the Surf Slam, and no sheet for it is held (searched the archive's mirror and research cache, 2026-10-18). The archive takes the Cronulla rider and the rider edged out at Wavedaze to be one person on the name and the freeride events, an inference.

2017 · Likely

The Journal's report of the 2017 Daytona Freeride, posted 18 January 2017 and written by a rider who was there, says Brandon Lawlor took third place in the MotoOption Surf n' Style contest for his re-entries in his heat. That this is the same freerider is again the archive's reading from the name, an inference.

Riding outside a race

2014 · Likely

The Journal's report of the Pismo Spring Break Freeride 2014 at Pismo Beach, California, posted 19 March 2014, says Brandon Lawlor was among the riders throwing down in the surf on the back set. Reading him as the TC Freeride rider of the Wavedaze report rests on the name and freeride alone, which the archive states as an inference.

2017 · Likely

The same report of the 2017 Daytona Freeride says the Blowsion team brought Brandon Lawlor out to the event and that he put on a show all weekend.

Elsewhere in the archive

What the archive has not read (1)

  • The Journal's report of the 2015 Cronulla Rip n' Ride names him among the riders from abroad, representing Free Form Factory, and says their skis had not arrived from the last round of the IFWA tour; it does not say he rode. Its report of the 2016 Daytona Freeride names him among the pro riders who came. Neither is used for a ride.
