In 1989 when she was only 6 years old, Vilma’s father, a former road cyclist, started the first BMX track in Lithuania. Naturally, Vilma and her brother were the first riders in the country. As he became more serious in the sport and coaching, Vilma’s athletic performance showed promising results. As a result of the end of the Russian repression at that time, support of various sport disciplines from the new government rapidly grew and new federations were formed. With her city's support, Vilma was afforded the opportunity to participate in international European events where her career in BMX took off. Her achievements before she became pro rider, included multiple European Championship podiums, as well as a World Champion Title at the age of 14.

Vilma became a pro BMX rider at the age of 17, as she continued to make podiums at European and World races. In 2008 BMX racing was introduced into the Olympic Games. This is when BMX racing gained recognition as worldwide and widely respected professional and amateur competitive sport. It became very detail oriented, professional, competitive, challenging and a full time job to the most successful athletes. At the time, this was the ultimate goal for every professional rider and the country behind him/her.

To reach this goal she had to not only work really hard, but was then given the privilege to work with some of the world's best BMX coaches, physical therapist, nutritionists, sports scientists and specialist. Throughout her 17 years as a professional BMX racer she gathered extensive of knowledge about the sport and it's specifics, which today she enjoy translating to the kids she coaches and trains.
