Looking to build trail in backyard

As the title says. I have an area about 50' by 30' of woods behind my yard. There's a slight grade lenght wise. I'm looking for one jump maybe a banked turn. Should I just rake out the leaves and use some logs as jumps? I don't have access to any digging equipment, small trees I can cut but not the big ones. I do have access to wooden pallets (free). The ground will be soft as the woods arn't used by anyone. Any advice? Websites? Books? Thanks!

Daniel

i agree with the skills course, you've got the perfect amount of land for it.
