In this segment from Jakers! Yo-Yo Grandpa talks about his life as a child growing up in Brooklyn. When he was a child he didn’t have too many things to play with, so he made toys. He shows how he made a pushmobile out of a box, a piece of wood, handles, and skates. Kids would get aboard the pushmobile and then skate around town on it, much like today’s skateboards or scooters, using their feet to push themselves along.
