How is a Bic "Wind" as a learner board?

Has anybody ever owned a Bic Wind?  I need some quick advice on whether
or not it is a good learner board.  I found one that somebody is selling
for $200, and I need some help.  It's 3 years old, and is in really good
shape.

I have two concerns:
        (1) there is a seam around the edge of the board that looks like
            it would really hurt to hit.  The seam sticks out ~1/8 inch or so.
        (2) The rods that keep the universal joint (I don't know the
            real name of it) in the board look like they may be made of
            plastic. What are the chances of these snapping

                I need some advice right away...
                        Thanks in advance...
