In BCM173 I refined two PAL Shade riding methods for descending from the first bridge in AOTCR, but now I've radically refined the third, where you throw a grenade under the left Shade then board it. Normally that's a very fickle business with low success rate, but I've found that it's possible to aim so precisely that you're guaranteed success - a first in the world of bridge descent. See my new movie BCM180 which demonstrates two surefire methods - one for a frag and one for a plasma. No significant skill needed, just careful aiming; so it's never been easier to get down. For details see my updated page on the V-clip Shade ride method.

I don't know if the precise grenading works (or can be modified to work) on NTSC/PC, but it's certainly worth checking out, in case it offers a new alternative to the standard method. Can't do it myself.
