A whole generation of BMX's came with coaster brake hubs!
First the early ones straight outta the cruiser/stingray era, but then later popularized by people like bob haro who ran one in addition to a rear handbrake.
36 spokes is the standard setup for BMX wheels, there was a 90's craze for overbuilt bikes. Many people still ride 48 spoke just on the rear. But 36 front and back is fine for most.
