No, they're not the same. If you're roller skating or roller blading, you have a boot with buckles on it, and you have wheels on the bottom of the boot. You use them on land. If you're ice skating, you have a half-shoe, half-boot that's either white or tan colored (for the girls) and usually black (for the boys). There aren't any buckles on ice skates, there are shoelaces. On the bottom, there are blades, not wheels. You use these kind of skates on ice, not on land.

The answer is...

YES

Rollerblading is something I was/am good at. But then when my mom set me up classes for figure skating, it was easy in the beginning because it really did feel like I was rollerblading.

The biggest different between ice skates and roller skates besides the blade and the 4 wheels are------doing edging. what is edging any time you turn a corner or a turn you use an inside or outside edge. Ice skates blades are very narrow but they still have the inside/outside edges and you only have one blade per skate. Roller skates have four wheels wide apart but each wheel has an inside edge and an outside edge. With ice skates only having one blade you normal can "cut" a deeper edge. I had a problem with my dance roller skates that when I did a deep edge the wheels would slip--like a car going around a corner with ice. After a lot of research I found a vendor that found a skate wheel that may solve my problem. The wheel edges were a little wider and some what softer. I put myself up against a dear friend that was excellent ice skater and we actually via a camera was able to measure my new edged wheels!!

Very much so. When roller skating, you move almost exactly the same as you would on ice.

No, it's completely different. In-line skating is on wheels, while ice skating is on blades and actually on the ice. You can jump and spin in ice skating, but not during in-line skating.

No. Ice skating is on ice, in-line is not.

An ice skate boot is also much more different, like there's a toe pick and a blade.
