The Oklahoma Kid
      Story
More than 100 years of family history has prepared
the Oklahoma Kid for his career in entertainment.

The Oklahoma Kid's father, grandfather and
great-grandfather worked with Pawnee Bill's Wild
West Show,  The Kid grew up in Ponca City, home of
the historic 101 Ranch. He's also related to Will
Rogers in his grandmother's generation.
Performance genes, a witty outlook and care for his
fellow man have trickled down through the
generations, and the Kid  is having a ball continuing
his family's legacy.

Like his distant relative Will Rogers, the Kid uses an
uplifting saying in his public performances:
"It's not always how fast you run or how high you
climb; it's how high you bounce."

Tipton has been roping in one form or another for 31
years. He was riding a horse before he could walk,
he said, and at 6 he was in the rodeo arena. He later
went on to be a professional team roper, bull rider
and bullfighter. He learned trick roping from his father
and grandfather, then went on to be professionally
trained at the 101 Ranch. Because he grew up in the
center of a wild west show legacy, he realized the
heritage was his to keep alive. From his relatives, he
heard first-hand stories about the likes of Pawnee
Bill, Buffalo Bill and Annie Oakley, and he was
always surrounded by original photographs of wild
west performers. He tells the story of Geronimo, who
eventually rode in the parade with the president and
shot his last buffalo from an automobile. According to
the Kid, during shows Geronimo would offer a
thousand dollars to any man who would offer to be
scalped; of course no one volunteered. Then there's
the story of Annie Oakley, a trick shooter who was
the first woman to win a competition against men,
hitting an unheard of 4,700 targets out of 5,000. The
Kid also recalls stories of the 101 Ranch in Ponca
City, once the largest ranch in the United States,
where he was raised.



A big heart with a contagious grin is the best way to
describe the Kid. He has made a life out of helping
others to feel better about them selfs. Kids Grandma
McSpadden had a great way of looking at things.
She told Marty that when life is rough and tough try
to smile and even laugh and always know in your
heart that you done your best and be satisfied with
that. Kid has traveled around the world helping
people smile hoping to help them get through what
ever life might have thrown their way.
Kid has been motivated to follow in Will Rogers foot
steps because of the generosity he had. He was
always helpful to anyone who needed a helping hand
and it did not  matter who they were or where they
came from.
