Stuff about Rolling RRs
Lazarus explains how to make the RR sound.
For some reason, webdunce explains RR again.
Most important thing, it is all about the tongue's tip resisting air flow and a balancing of those two opposing forces resulting in the vibration of the tongue's tip. There is no way a person can move their tongue fast enough by way of muscular up-and-down movements. I feel most people who struggle with this sound are trying to move their tongue fast enough some kind of way, which not even the most gifted Spaniard can do.
Cheers.
While rare, some people do have physical problems that prevent rolling of the RR...for example, ankyloglossia.
Just type this in the search box,
Rolling The Letter R
You will find dozens of posts on this subject.
Well I am happy to say that I have been able to roll my RR's since I was very little, jaja
I always just thought it was a fun thing to do! 
hehe
You know, I still cannot do it. >.< I have read tutorials, listened to audio lessons and watched videos. (Now it's time to look at the links webdunce posted... 
)
Anyways, there actually are some native speakers who cannot pronounce the "RR", so don't feel bad about it. Just keep trying... Some non-native speakers say it can take months to years to learn how to do it.
Good luck! Buena suerte!

There are 10 words, you can listen and roll to your heart's content.
Honestly, the best thing you can do is keep trying. Reading tips will be helpful, but what is most important is that you keep practicing. You are trying to teach your tongue (a muscle) to perform a specific movement so you need to develop the muscle memory on how to do it. Once you get it, you'll never forget!
Good luck!
