"Half Pipe" Hip Idea's-Please Help

ALright, the 'half pipe' as they call it at our hill sucks and is beyond repair, but the walls are steep enough to make good landings. So what me and my friends want to do is build a jump on top of the outer wall of the so called pipe and us the inside wall of the pipe as a landing for a hip. We also want to have the alternative to hit the jump straight to slide some sort of rail or box if possible. Does anyone have any better idea's or possible sketches they can post that would help me out to generate an idea we use to build this type of setup
any help would be great
thanks

my hill is that same, what u gotta do is repeatedly hit one part of the 'pipe' near the begining so that instead of it curving up it goes out a little, then u can hit it up and land on the other side of the pipe on the outer wall, if ur pipe is cramped then u can build a little jump on top of the deck of the pipe and ride in on the deck carve over and hit the jump and land in the pipe, putting rails near a pipe is a bad idea unless ur good
