Joint Help

I need help to learn how to roll a joint, when ever i roll i never get the tightness even though i roll and use techniques just like in the video's any body have tips?

a rolling machine

I saw a really great video that taught me how to roll really well. I think it was something like "how to roll a cone perfectly every time"

Ill try to look for the video and post it here. Nothing like a nice joint!

Roll it up my brother! And smoke your first one in honor of me

i try to explain this to ppl...ok so u load the paper up with how ever much u want. both pointer fingers stay about a eighth of an inch in the ends as u roll a few times with middle fingers and thumbs at each end to tighten the pot a bit now you can remove your fingers from the ends and nothing will fall out, you will have a slight bulge in the middle so now you take your thumbs and first fingers and as you push down on the bulge you simultaneously roll up, this is where its tricky because the paper on the inside will sometimes not catch and want to stick out too high for the gum to connect you may have to fold down that excess paper to get it out of your way. so you need to roll that middle up almost all the way , it will stay for the most part and you then roll and tighten the ends. then lick the paper still holding the ends but keeping the middle in tight now twist your left hand forward and right hand toward you so as to seal the middle and right side real tight now you grab the left side and get that a little tighter, it may have lossened slightly, by rolling it up without sticking it until it feels nice as you stick that left side, again bring your left hand turned toward you so as to almost be reaching around the top of the joint and sticking the last corner as far down and tight as possible.....best i can explain it my joints are super tight, no dolla bill here lol

I second the rolling machine...makes it nearly fool-proof & they're quite affordable, simple to operate....although I've found it's hard to make a tight fattie j with them. Kermit2692 does give pretty good sounding instructions...so try that a while & if still no-good, get the rolling machine...I think smoke shops have them.
I seem to just have idiot hands for free-rolling j's, so I use the roller thingie...ours has a logo-guy that looks like Jesus on it so it gives me a chuckle when I use it....Me & the big heavenly J, rollin MMJ splifs...LOL

No one can tell you or advise you how to roll especially on an Internet forum, it's just trial and error, ie. the more you roll the better you'll get. When I first started rolling I was a regular 'sgt. slacks', but now I consider rolling joints one of my best skills, like how poeple can play pool or bowl.

ya boss thats true its one of those things that the first time you roll a nice tight one you go ohhhhh thats how i do it and then u get better and better but you kinda have to stumble on it yourself lol...still tho i tried my best to explain my method

this. my method has evolved quite a bit since i was a kid. at first i could only roll 'em fat because i lacked the skill to keep it nice with less weed. for the longest time i would have to cut a piece off the mouth end because it was always too skinny. i learned that it was better to put the fat end in your mouth even if it meant that the first few hits were mostly paper. i learned this, i learned that, and today i roll the meanest joints of anyone i know.
