'youngster may busy himself with' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'unusual task a bored' is the wordplay.
'unusual' indicates an anagram.
'task'+'a'+'bored'='taskabored'
'taskabored' with letters rearranged gives 'SKATEBOARD'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for skateboard that I've seen before include "Small wheeled platform on which person can scoot and ride" , "Young person's wheeled transport" , "Youth transport" , "Means of travel on rollers" , "Urban youth's transport" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
