the past two days ive been riding my new uni, its a schwinn with kenda kenetic…i can turn fine on my Oxford with the little street tire, so why cant i on the schwinn, any words of advice?
pleaseeeee
You might just need time adjusting to the new configuration. Maybe your new unicycle is a bit heavier and you’re not putting enough of your weight into the turn to make the uni follow your lead.
I have taught somebody to turn right (he could only turn left) by offering him a shoulder to hold on to and reminding him to turn his entire upper body in the direction he wanted to go and to make his lower body follow. It took a few assisted tries but then he was fine on his own.
Hope that helps.

Try higher tyre pressure.

be sure to remove the saddle and simply sit on the seat post. this is far more comfortable - tennisgh22 on the comfort of Savage unis
not to be rude, but I noticed it says “skilled unicyclist” under your avatar.
I guess you mean you have some skills (getting on, riding) 
?
I would recommend that you try taking the unicycle on a fine gravel path,
or at least a grassy field, and try turning there.
I am thinking one would have trouble going from a 20"x1.75" to a 24"x3.0"
on pavement, but not enough to say “I can’t turn.”
i didnt put the “skilled unicyclist” there
Yeah. ChangingLinks pulled the same thing on me. I explained that the ‘skilled unicyclist’ is placed under an avatar automatically after you post a certain number of messages.
Just focus on the advise posted about turning. Everone in the forum is very helpful. I can’t get you any advise other than just to practice. I’m still trying to figure things out myself.

Higher pressure allows the the unicycle to pivot more easily.
Also, make sure you lean into the turn.
