It'll be a lot easier to answer this question more precisely if we know the answers to those questions, but basically, it'll break down like this.
For large (>5') features:
If you have access to a backhoe and you're allowed to use it, use the backhoe. If you are allowed to use one but don't have one, strongly consider renting one. It'll make your life so much easier, and backhoes are cool. If not, grab a chainsaw, cut up some logs, stack em up and cover them with dirt. Dirt between the logs to keep them secure. If you're building somewhere that you can't use power tools but has downed trees, look around for deadfall trees and use a hand chainsaw to cut up the logs you need, but it's gonna be miserable.
For smaller features (>1', <3'):
All of the above applies, but smaller features can be built with less equipment. If you're not down with the hand chainsaw you can pile up flat rocks, cover with dirt, more rocks, more dirt, etc. This works better when working with soil with high clay content, terrible with sandy soil. You can also just build a mound of dirt, pack it, pile up more, pack it until you have a nice firm mound, then shape the dirt into a jump. Fair warning, this takes a lot more work than you'd think. It'll save time to dig dirt out of the run up, i.e, instead of building a 3' tall pile of dirt, take 6" of dirt out of the last 25' of trail running into it, so you're starting 6" below the level of the terrain, so you only need to build a 2.5' tall mound***.
For small features (<1'):
All of the above still applies, but at this point I'd recommend just building a kicker out of timber, dragging it out to the trail, and securing it in place. Leave 6-12" 'stilts' coming out the bottom of the back end of the ramp which can be buried to make sure your ramp doesn't move, and leave about a foot of plywood sticking out of the front which you can bury.
* Just don't.
** Get permission from the trail steward before you do this.
EDIT:*** Sustainable trail building techniques should still be used when building jumps; ensure you can build proper drainage before you do this. (thanks /u/chelplayer99)
I've always wanted one of these but never seen yours before:

Anyone with experience with both?
