They are quite tricky to get right, my main tip would be to not try and build a kick off a very tight radius berm for a 1st try, it's much easier to get the kick just right when dealing with a shallower angle.

And build it only using dirt so that when you make adjustments to it it's much easier to deal with

There are so many different ways to do this, post up some photos of your spot and / or what you are looking for.

Here is one I made a few years ago:
around the corner and through the woods...

Some more items for inspiration:
Finishing Berm to Berm
  Jumping from Berm to Berm is super fun

Berm destroyer
  This has the most natural feel, around the corner and immediately pump down a roller

270 berm
  Same thing... around the corner and pump down a roller

hip into berm
  Looks like a Sharkfin in the background

In a few days I'll post some photos. What's a Sharkfit? Is it a jump from berm to landing?

Yeah it's kinda like a berm that ends half way so you take off leaned over
