the thing about skating and golf is that they are very similar in the sense that it's you and an object, no help. so you try over and over and over and over, and when you land that trick once, or hit a 280 yd drive, you get the same feeling. and you want that feeling of accomplishment again, so you keep doing it. the same could be said for fishing. cast 100s of times to catch 1 fish. i too, have transitioned into fishing and golf as I can't skate as much anymore.
