Presenting CAJUN SPINNER'S "AL E. GAITUH" YEAUX-YEAUX

Description: PRESENTING TO YOU CAJUN SPINNER'S OFFICIAL MASCOT "AL E. GAITUH" Featuring Al E. Gaituh and his favorite saying, "If it doesn't say Cajun Spinner's, It's Not A Yeaux-Yeaux". Al is Cajun Spinner's official yo-yoing, skateboarding, cool swamp creature and our official mascot whose shadowy figure was featured on our Tournament Yeaux-Yeaux packaging that asked, "WHO AM I?" This all wood 3-piece Yeaux-Yeaux is made in a wide gap (classic butterfly) style, with rubber o-rings to protect the rims (plus they look cool). A lot of attention was given to the finely polished and concaved axle for great performance.This Yeaux-Yeaux is in a Rusty Flat Brown color with Rust Orange/Brown highlights.

PRAISE FOR CAJUN SPINNER’S YEAUX-YEAUX’S: John “Doc Lucky” Meisenheimer, Jr, is the author of Lucky's Collectors Guide to 20th Century Yo-Yos: History & Values, the “bible” of yo-yo history and collecting. On his monthly Facebook show Doc Lucky’s Yo-Yo Talk, Episode 66 (02/03/23) said of the new Cajun Spinner’s Yeaux-Yeaux: “A beautiful line of fixed axle yo-yos, and I will tell you these look like they’re going to be highly collectible in the future.” And Lucky said of the Midnight Lightning Yeaux-Yeaux, “They were gorgeous. I think those yo-yos are fantastic. They are all very displayable yo-yos and that adds kind of the third ‘Lightning’ now that people need to add (to their collection) if they are going to have all three of the ‘Lightnings’.” The other two he was referring to were the 1950’s Duncan Litening, and the 1990’s Franklin Mint Duncan Litening reproduction. Of the Cajun Spinner’s Yeaux-Yeaux in general he said, “Pick up a set of these.” CAJUN SPINNER'S HISTORY: As the sole-proprietor I launched Cajun Spinner's Yeaux-Yeaux Company on February 02, 2023, to produce in limited quantities quality handcrafted classic wooden, fixed axle yo-yos, honoring the hobby's magical history, with a twist from my Cajun heritage. For almost 30 years I have been an avid collector of vintage, wooden yo-yos and a big fan of the wonderfully creative, generous and talented yo-yo community. This release is the culmination of a dream to make a lasting contribution to our hobby and sport. There is no factory where my yeaux-yeaux's are created, just my imagination, a lathe, and my garage where I cut, sand, paint, inspect and test every yeaux-yeaux before sending it out with a big smile and a lot of love.The initial plan is that after the 4-yeaux-yeaux inaugural launch February 02, 2023, a new yeaux-yeaux (pronounced, "yo-yo") will be introduced the first week of every-other month, made available exclusively through eBay.
