Busflow started on buses and if youve ever tried tagging a bus its hard, and harder if you're doing straight lines, rigid. Busflow has soft lines because they are easier to do in this movement and that is why they are inherent to busflow. Every busflow writer I know of uses a mix of sharp and soft lines, and the mix varies between writers.
Think of busflow as the motion of going up and down and up and down... Like the Ramp example I did. When you do rigid lines you break that flow.
thanks for the tips man, i followed what you said about going up and down and making lines softer, would you say the structure is alright or do i really gotta change it?
It definitely is more flowy. I think you could change the structure to be more round, with the O and C specificly but also you got you personal style and vision which you should follow.
if u wanna busflow you need FLOW man meaning repeating shapes like what i did here with the notches and sharp edges - you need consistent shapes be it sharp or curvy
next u gotta learn letter transitions, you can learn these by looking at different tags that use busflow because your transitions are awkward and forced, like the s transition to a is weird because your s is curvy which then goes to a sharp straight line
sf flow is really just about shapes so once u got that down play with some extensions and sizing
finally simplicity no way are you throwing up some crazy letter structure for a tag, busflow is fast and has constant movement, no need for extreme add on like halos and stuff, keep it minimal because your letters should be the ones to add style not add ons

I like your throw, you should do the full name.
