I'd call bonus damage, definitely.  Probably something along the lines of
xDy, per 10 yards skated up to a max of 50 yards (or some such).  As to the
question of requiring a roll, I would ask for one *any* time they use the
roller blades in combat.  Probably as a simple task on every action. 
Combat is hard enough on stable ground, to say nothing of roller blades.
