I dunno man. I mean the specs look good on it for the price. For a prebuilt bike, you couldn't really hope for much more at 199.99. It doesn't say whether the crank is sealed or not. If at all possible, go for a sealed one. It's nice that the rims are though, but allow rims aren't the greatest especially if your hitting jumps. You may want to upgrade those to triple wall rims, especially if you ever going to increase the size of the jumps you hit.

A lot of it comes down to feel too. I wouldn't recommend getting a bike from the internet unless you've ridden it before and you know you like the feel of it. Maybe that's just me though. You may also want to check out danscomp.com. They usually have the best prices on bikes and bike parts.

There's alot better companies to look at than GT. GT hasn't really done much to stay current. If you're just getting into riding then you don't need an amazing bike but having a nicer bike definitely makes you want to get out and ride more. If I were you I'd look into something by Fit, Eastern or even DK has some pretty nice pre-builts. Because of your location I don't know where you could go to order stuff but definitely look into it more.
