Dierks Bentley, who appears to be spending his Christmas holiday at his home in Colorado with his family, was doing some biking in the snow on his fat bike when he took a tumble.

Dierks shared a video on Instagram riding in deep snow in what looks like a mountainous area when he falls into the snow. He laughs after his fall and says, “That’s what you get when you try and film and bike at the same time. Okay, good time just to take a little snooze.”

Bentley captioned the post, “what I get for trying to film and fat bike….”

His tourmate Riley Green commented on the post, teasing him with “#oldguysrule.”

17 Dierks Bentley Number One Songs Ranked

• 17. “Woman, Amen” (2018)

  Share

  A song Dierks co-wrote; it was inspired by his wife. But as he notes, "I've come back from so many writing appointments over the past 12 years like 'I wrote this song about you,' and she's like, 'Just because it's a love song doesn't mean it's about me.'”

• 16. “Am I the Only One” (2011)

  Share

  Bentley told Billboard at the time, that following his bluegrass album ‘Up on the Ridge,’ he wanted to "be back on the radio, and I wanted my fans to hear our stuff. I wanted to come back with a song that was fun for fans." And this was definitely a fun song.

• 15. “I Hold On” (2013)

  Share

  This cool song describes the singer staying true to what he enjoys and is comfortable with, including an old truck, an old guitar, and his lover. The truck referenced is his 1994 Chevy Silverado that he and his late father drove to Nashville. He still drives it today.
• 14. “Somewhere on a Beach” (2015)

  Share

  In this song, Dierks sings to his ex-girlfriend about his life after they broke up. He tells her he has a new girlfriend and adds that she and he are together having fun together "somewhere on a beach."

• 13. “Come a Little Closer” (2005)

  Share

  This was one of Bentley’s early hits, and in reviews of the song Billboard compared the sexiness of the tune to that of the late Conway Twitty.

• 12. “Sideways” (2009)

  Share

  The song sings about the male character's attempt to talk to a female in a bar. Despite not being able to hear her name because of the loud noise, he still tries to come on to her, saying that he wants to "get a little sideways" with her.
• 11. “Home” (2011)

  Share

  A native Arizonian, Dierks says he was inspired by the Tucson, Arizona shooting that killed six people and critically injured U.S. Representative Gabby Giffords in January 2011.

• 10. “Feel That Fire” (2008)

  Share

  To promote the single, Bentley shipped more than 2000 boxes of Cracker Jacks to various radio stations (a reference to "she wants the toy in the Cracker Jack," a line from the opening).

• 9. “Settle for a Slowdown” (2005)

  Share

  One more of Dierks’ early chart-toppers, this song’s music video paints a picture of a woman leaving him and their trailer in the desert for Hollywood. Bentley eventually shows up in Hollywood at a mansion and sings the chorus.
• 8. “Say You Do” (2014)

  Share

  Dierks said at the time of this song’s release, that "Say You Do" was the song on his album ‘Riser’ that he loved from the very beginning. He added that he and his camp knew it was going to be a single; they just had to find the right time for it.

• 7. “5-1-5-0” (2012)

  Share

  I just love the up-tempo beat and lyrics to this fun song about going crazy. The title is a reference to the 5150 "involuntary psychiatric hold" in the California Welfare and Institutions Code. Favorite line: “Somebody call the Po-po.”

• 6. “Different for Girls” (featuring Elle King) (2016)

  Share

  Elle King was the perfect choice for a duet partner on this song. Never a big award winner, but always a nominee, this song gave Bentley a win for "Vocal Event of the Year" at the 2016 CMA Awards. It was also nominated for the 2017 Grammy Award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance.
• 5. “Living” (2019)

  Share

  Something we should all do more of, “Living” is right on the mark. The official video of the song features Dierks, and his then 5-year-old son Knox, playing together in the backyard, a water park, a go-kart track, and a laser tag arena.

• 4. “Drunk on a Plane” (2014)

  Share

  An up-tempo gem from Bentley. The song is about a man who is left behind at the altar and takes a trip to Cancún by himself after he is unable to obtain a refund for the airplane tickets he had purchased for a honeymoon.

• 3. “Every Mile a Memory” (2006)

  Share

  Quite an emotional ride, the song tells the story of a man missing a woman and how everything he sees and hears evokes her memory. Great song to listen to if you are feeling heartbreak.
• 2. “What Was I Thinkin'” (2003)

  Share

  Bentley’s very first radio single, and he scored a chart-topper right out of the box. The fun lyrics reference 1980’s TV show ‘Dukes Of Hazard’ and sparked a friendship with actor John Schneider, whose character is referenced in the lyrics “like Bo Duke sliding over the hood.”

• 1.”Free and Easy (Down the Road I Go)” (2007)

  Share

  It’s the song I go to whenever I want to hear some Dierks. The song was made available as downloadable content for the video game “Rock Band” on December 16, 2008.
