This achievement can be very painful and long, as i found out, but when you get it, it feels great :D
You need to get ABSOUTLE full power on the sprint bar, PERFECT on the board and exactly 45 degrees on the angle.
Even with all of this you are not gareenteed to get 8.96m i got 8.95m alot, so dont think your game is messed up.
Just keep at it and eventully it will come.

I have now got 8.96 on two occasions now, once was a fluke as i did not have full power but still came up 8.96, and the second time was actually full power perfect and 45. Both of the times i did it, it was in olympics mode and i used the slow motion feature which helped greatly, i do not think this was the reason as i got my pole vault achievement using slow motion... any ideas whats wrong/what to do?

Erm, im not sure whether it matters what mode you do it in, i know for mine that i didnt do it olympic games mode as i didnt use slow motion, but as you say you got your pole vault one in olympic games mode. All i can advice is that you try and do it in another mode. It is very annoying when your keep getting 8.95 but the first time i got 8.96 it poped up for me.

This is can be challenging, to get this you will need to have a jump that has a full (and I mean full) power bar, a perfect take-off and a 45 degree angle.
Once you have the ability to get the full power bar it is just a matter of practice and a bit of luck to get the timing and angle right.

8.96M for the lucky number sixth time.
The first five 8.96M were in Olympic mode. Most of the time had two bonuses. The fifth time had High Power and Take off bonus with the 45 angle and no bonus. Tired of loading up O mode and switched to training. First jump - NO High Power bonus with Perfect Takeoff bonus and Perfect angle bonus. Broke the "current 8.95M" WR. Don't know if that had anything to do with it. Glad that's done. At least 300 jumps.

U need to get everything perfect: full speed perfect take off and 45 degree angle and than hope u get it.
This is best done in OLYMPIC mode using the slomotion function
that way u have the best shot at a perfect lift off and can always get the angle between 43 and 47 degree's
Getting full power is just a matter of luck even using slomo, it just isn't always at the max when the powerlock comes
When the criteria (power/board/angle) are met u will get a bonus
(this way you know if u had a full power)
Sometimes i got a 45 degree angle but no perfect angle bonus and thus no achievement
i had 4 perfect full power 45 jumps with 8.96 covered but no achievement
And finaly when i got the 3 bonus things it unlocked
p.s. I had the update removed because i thought it might be glitched
