Have you ever heard about surfing on CS:S? This tutorial will give you a step-by-step introduction to surfing.
Surfing was found out on Half-Life 2 after a glitch was recognised. They found out that if you landed on a slope that was at a certain angle, you could press either D (if you were on the left hand side of the slope) or A (if you were on the right hand side of the slope) and you simply glided across the slope.
To find a surf map on CS:S, write "surf_" in the filter and many maps come up (keep in mind that you have to download them).
The controls are pretty much explained, but there are a few other tips.
!)You may find out that you lose speed whilst on a map. To stop this happening, always point your cursor downwards so that gravity is acting, giving you more speed.
!)NEVER press forward (W).
!)To transfer onto another ramp successfully, keep the direction you were previously holding. If you came off from the right hand side of a ramp, keep on holding A until you go onto the next ramp and as you hit the map, press A or D (mattering on which side of the ramp you are on).
!)Big jumps whilst surfing slow you down, so try to make your air-time as little as possible.
You have to practice many times to get the full hang of this and this can be quite challenging.
