The Yankee Method (Accessing East Side Early):

Go to Viceport and find the parked Yankee truck southwest of the large moored ship.
Drive the Yankee truck to Starfish Island and head towards The Mansion.
Turn onto the property and drive east towards the Island Bridge (East).
Stop near the bridge, turn the truck around, and back it up towards the water's edge.
Position the truck so the back wheels are close to, but not in, the water, on an incline.
Exit the truck. The truck will lean left due to the incline.
Climb onto the truck by jumping onto the hood and then the top.
Move to the back of the truck and rotate the camera to find a jut in the black metal railing on the wall where the bridge meets the land.
Jump to the right of this jut to land on the bridge, bypassing the forcefield.

Tips

The forcefield on the bridge does not extend to the jutting section of the railing.
The back of the Yankee truck is positioned to allow players to go beyond the forcefield's end and jump onto the bridge.
While on the East Side early, players can complete:
- Fifty-two Red Balloons.
Fourteen Unique Stunt Jumps.
Seventeen Rampages.

East Side Checkpoint Races and activities are generally inaccessible, except for:

Playground at the Point.
