DierksBentley: in studio today…must say I think my annual new years day percy priest lake jump beard is coming along nicely

Many of you may remember last year's video of Dierks' traditional dip in the icy lake, but I'm personally not liking the beard!  Hopefully he will post video from tomorrow's "jump" later!

DIERKS GIVES WET WELCOME TO 2010

Dierks Bentley, producer Brett Beavers (aka godfather of the gladiators) and crew gather each New Year's Day, choosing a slow march into the well below freezing waters of Percy Priest Lake near Nashville. This year, they chose to take the slow march in reverse, and Dierks chose to publish their 2 minute and 48 second 'what was I thinkin' moment on Twitter, Facebook and You Tube:

"just did our annual gladiator's Percy priest lake jump....coldest year yet. video footage will be up on Dierks.com tomorrow. happy 2010!

It was 28 degrees at lake jump this year! thx to our fans for a great 09.hopeful for a great '10 for everyone #fb"

I'm thinkin', now I know why DB has been growing the beard--to help keep his face warm in preparation for this annual ritual!
