Hard to know from a picture with zero information about the bike's components (other than it has v "breaks") or size or even how much travel it has (doesn't appear to be a "downhill" bike either, I'd guess 5" trail bike instead). Do you really want a full suspension bike and the additional cost/maintenance it might entail? Are you mechanically inclined? Personally I'd recommend a hardtail to start with, if not rigid, to learn on both for skills and maintenance. What size is it? Do you even know what size you're looking for? What kind of riding do you see yourself doing and on what kind of terrain/trails? So many questions, grasshopper...but you really do have to think about what you're getting and why, lots of choices out there...
